I'm almost positive this came from an original BSD csh(1) man page.
Checking minnie @ TUHS, I don't see it in /usr/man/man1/csh.1 in 3BSD,
2.9BSD (which actually came later), 4BSD, or 4.4BSD. Given those
samples, I didn't check others.
It went in sometime between January and July, 1992. Maybe tcsh, but I'm
not going to chase it down.
