For users of DOS-like systems there is no "best" default,
since DOS command interpreters don't offer such functionality.
Indeed one of the advantages of Eshell is the uniform

it's written in Elisp. Make it gratuitously behave
differently without any advantage from this change is
counter-productive for the users.
