Even if it works with bash/dash, this sets a bad precedent. *csh is simply a different language that would back us into a corner, restrict our syntax in the future if we have to support both with the same scripts. I think we should instead accept patches that would run with /bin/sh which should never be linked to csh or tcsh.
