Also, there's a variable you can setenv true to get a much richer word
set, though you have to do a `reset' to make it take effect.  I'm not
certain what it is; a quick glance at a '20 I have handy makes me
suspect either diag-switch? or fcode-debug?.  (I daresay eeh already
knows this, but, probably, not everyone does.)
