tcsh is an enhanced csh, and it does offer this capability. bash (the Gnu
Bourne-Again SHell) is an enhanced superset of sh, and it also does what
you're looking for, as does zsh, an expanded Korn shell. My MacBSD box is
running  a VERY old version, so I'm not sure what's part of the
distribution now, but all of these compile trivially on NetBSD.
