Sure enuf.  Years ago, in csh's infancy, some nameless author decided
that the syntax

	echo -n ...

was preferable.  Since echo was a builtin to csh, it was possible for
a time (under PDP-11 V7) to get the \c syntax from /bin/echo.  That
no longer works, either.  /bin/echo is now a duplicate if csh's
internal echo.
