I've come up with a couple of other small problems with tcsh 5.19
* the filename correction is done at the wrong time. I use variables like
h, s, g to hold useful directory names. When I do stuff like "mkdir $s/a"
tcsh will complain about $s being unreadable (the mkdir will work, however)
Suggested solution: change the filename analysis to happen after the
variable name expansion.
* the filename correction does not recognize wildcards "?*[]" as such, but
will offer corrections to (some?) filenames containing them
Suggested solution: make the wildcards patterns be a special case, the only
time correction should be suggested is when no match is found.
