Not-so-incidentally, the fact that zsh does NOT do this is one of the
primary reasons that zsh exists at all.  Paul Falstad found it
distasteful that csh DOES that, and set out to create a shell that had
the interactive advantages of csh while preserving the separation of
parse and execution as found in sh and ksh.
