[Tcsh] Tab used as completion from paste

tab-completion is extremely useful, but very counterproductive
when a clipboard paste includes a tab.

I notice that when I copy text from a plain-text source (editor,
mail, browser, whatever) and I paste it in xterm/tcsh, any tabs
in the pasted buffer are interpreted as completion tab, causing
a lot of fails!

This is not new, but is there an option to *paste* tabs as-is?
Or translate tabs as spaces

This happens for Shift-Insert and Middle-Mouse-Button-Paste the
like.
