+The GNU Readline library is a programming tool that provides a
+consistent user interface for recalling lines of previously typed
+input and performing editing tasks on input lines.

+
+There was a bug with tcsh: when readline attempt to get tty
+modes from background, it got no-echo editing tcsh mode.
+
+Workaround for this implemented via TIOCGWINSZ/TIOCSWINSZ
+with same winsize structure: it does nothing expect polling
+process from background. Look tcsh_hack.readme for details.
+
+This version is more ctype-oriented than original bash version.
+
+If you want 8-bit clean version, put
+ set convert-meta off
+ set output-meta on
+in your ~/.inputrc file
