Ctrl-D? logout? exit? quit?

All these things are valid all over the shop. All dependent on what
shell, what machine, whether I'm root or not and, I suspect, the
direction of flight of migratory pipistrel bats to the nearest
(magnetic) degree and, possibly, how many tasty souls Cthulu has to
devour this morning thus preoccupying him from constantly tormenting me.

In tcsh (at least on this system) does auto-completeion. The fact that 
it's called Tab Completion everywhere else appears to have sailed 
cleanly past who ever decided that.

This, goes out to software developers everywhere. I'm sure your ideas 
are fantastic and, in self-congratulatory tirades you pump out to your 
simpering yes men on whatever forum you frequent you have thoroughly 
justifed your design decisions but, and this is the important thing, I 
don't give a shit. 

STANDARDISE MOTHER FUCKERS - lest ordinary mortals without your near
godlike vision rise up and give you an impromptu clue-bat colonoscopy.
