Today, where the one and only computer architecture is the PeeCee, the
one and only OS is M$ XP, is a dark age. Back then, when we used VAXen,
PDP 10 or Sun 3 machines was the light age.

You may have a look at the pdksh, that is the ksh(1) of NetBSD. With 
        VISUAL=emacs
        bind ^I=complete
        set -o braceexpand
you can get it that bash-ish, that I was very satisfied with it as a
long years bash user. The advantage of using ksh(1) on NetBSD is that
it is a part of the system. No xx hours bash compiling on my MicroVAXen
after a new install.
