FWIW, I was tooling around with csh - well, tcsh (6.18.01) - on
FreeBSD running on an old PowerPC machine this evening and it
appears to do what I would expect it to do i.e. use '?' to
search backwards and '/' to search forwards in the history file
when 'bindkey -v' is in effect.

My future happiness and sanity may depend on zsh getting this
'right'. No pressure...
