I'm guessing histchars got that way round in some kind of mistaken link up with compatibility with csh, which tends to deal only with lower case variables. But that's just a guess, don't think it really matters.
OK. For what it's worth, I did verify my patch doesn't change init in csh mode. Both lowercase 'histchars' (as on tcsh) and the uppercase variant are initialised, as before.
