I have.

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.

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.
