   This right associativity is of course going against what one would exspect.
   (I hope my English is understandibilitish :-)

Ouch! And yes, your English has understandibilishfullnesstivity.

   PS: I will change my local csh version to get left associativity, and
	   implement some other changes too, like an operator '.' for
	   concatenation of strings (to get complicated patterns) and
	   enabeling evaluation of `...` as a primitive.

We already have concatenation: ${x}${y}. What does `...` mean?
Perhaps you might post your changes to the appropriate source group?
