!# expansion in csh ( a puzzle )

[Tim Smith]

/**/

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 !# ) ?
