Let "count" be a program that prints argc.
Let your shell be csh.
What would you expect from the following commands?
count
count !#
count !# !#
count !# !# !#
count !# !# !# !#
( you get the idea )
Hint: you will not get 1,2,4,8,16,...
I think I know why this happens. Is this a bug or a feature ( or a misuse
of !# ) ?
