Bug: The csh dirs command is documented as producing an
abbreviated output form using ~ unless the -l option
is used. However if `dirs` is used the full path name
is returned without the -l option.
Example:
% dirs
~
% dirs -l
/fs/cs/jonathan
% echo `dirs`
/fs/cs/jonathan
% echo `dirs -l`
/fs/cs/jonathan
echo `dirs` should have produced ~.
