Picking a random person to reply to.
There are a lot of good suggestions in this thread, but can we please
remember a few things:
- Users can always add their own ~/.cshrc
- Many users will get annoyed by what is someone else's amazing setup
The main problem of this is: novice user don't know how to enable some
"advanced" settings for default FreeBSD shell (csh / tcsh) or even don't
know they exist. But all skilled persons are able to disable "annoing"
new settings in few seconds.
I think that default FreeBSD install should be more friendly to new
users. That's why I am propossing better support of command completion
"out of the box".
(I will still use my own set of changes in rc files which I am deploying
in a first step on all our machines)

For the record this is the current version of the patch I'd like to
commit: Note that it slightly changed from the original (I removed the
duplicate prompt setup and reorganized where the edits are made to
make the diff look nicer).

I am fine with this change. It is better than nothing. :)
