Yah, that's the coolest thing about tcsh that bash doesn't have. I've
been meaning to write a little C module that when enabled as a dynamically
loaded bash module will do this. (And I don't think that tcsh has
built-in support for you to build your own dynamically loadable extensions
to the shell.) Also, bash has all the incredibly nifty pattern-matching,
command-processing, string-manipulation and variable-evaluation
variables/operators, such as $(command) and ${variable##pattern} and
${varname:?message} and ${varname:offset:length}, that tcsh doesn't have.

The latter.
