1. Why don't you ask about this on the tcsh mailing lists?

I have.

2. OR why don't you send me a patch that fixes the bug?

This behavoir is described in the man page so I thought it was intended. My thinking was if tcsh wants this fine. It is just not compat with csh which is also fine as long as there is a csh.


3. OR why don't you test to see if you are running under tcsh and use a
   different code path:
         if ( $?tcsh ) then
                 # something that will work with tcsh
     else
         # existing code
         endif

I did $<:q but I suspect others will have the same issue in future so I thought it would be nice for all involved if the csh standard behavoir was available on freebsd.
