Yeah, actually, I found this in cli/cli-cmds.c:init_cli_cmds:

  /* NOTE: cagney/2000-03-20: Being able to enter ``(gdb) !ls'' would
     be a really useful feature.  Unfortunately, the below wont do
     this.  Instead it adds support for the form ``(gdb) ! ls''
     (i.e. the space is required).  If the ``!'' command below is
     added the complains about no ``!'' command would be replaced by
     complains about how the ``!'' command is broken :-)  */
  if (xdb_commands)
    add_com_alias ("!", "shell", class_support, 0);
