Where I was, a few students implemented 'dsh', a follow-on to 'csh', which had ESC-based pathname, user, ~user, and envariable expansion (ran in cbrk mode), and a few other things (and some really goofy error messages). I inherited it and immediately declared it dead upon the arrival on scene by tcsh, which I then abandoned once I discovered bash, since I wanted to have a CLI which resembled my primary prototyping language.
