With the above in mind, I suggest we change as little as possible from what
we have today (for now) and that we do improvements in small steps.
I believe 99.99% of all users would find the change below to be a definite
improvement over the current default values in .cshrc:
Index: dot.cshrc

bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
Also, a comment pointing to /usr/share/examples/tcsh/complete.tcsh would
be a nice addition to the default .cshrc.
