I know 'tab' completion works for tcsh, but it's 'escape' for csh, for example. Also, I know that in csh the 'cd -' doesn't work all by itself. I had to do an alias to get that behavior.

For features like this, you should really have a list of "supported shells" kind of like a javascript page that says "works with these browsers" or mentions that some shells do it one way and others do it a slightly different way.
