Well, I need to scope this. If the issue is tcsh and bash, then I will look at both. I cannot, of course, look at any arbitrary program which might be affected.
I think we'd be OK if we work with the "common" shells. But that would include zsh, whose current FAQ says the following:
Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable `$EMACS', which is set to `t' in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.So here it's not merely a matter of fixing zsh, it's also fixing all the users' .zshrc files that are following this (obsolescent) advice.
So far we've looked at three shells (bash, tcsh, zsh), and found compatibility issues with all three. This is not a good sign.
