What tcsh has is powerful command completion, which I believeDebian doesn't
setup by default. For example, one could program tcsh such that it knew
all the options to the `dpkg' command. Then, typing in:
$ dpkg -[TAB]
i.e. pressing the tab key after the hyphen, would list all the options
to dpkg and would tab-complete them.
It's nice to press TAB after the `cd' command and see only directory
names instead of all files, or TAB after `latex' and see only .tex files.
