Doesn't csh come with a disclaimer saying that its quoting
rules are non-obvious and that (from memory) 'although useful
for an interactive shell, csh isn't robust enough for scripts'.

It is generally much safer so include the output of `` in ""
(and most variable substitutions as well).

so
	echo "`foo`"
is much safer.
