Ah. You were asking a little while ago what Mat did that was unique.
Well (with the aid of a short CLI script) that sort of renaming is EXACTLY
one of the things I use it for. (The script is on Fish 374 too.) The
syntax -- also showing one of the ways I use '^' -- is:
REN whatever.(c|h) old.^F
where '^F' in this case means the original filename.
If I prefer whatever_OLD.c as the result, I do:
REN whatever^.(c|h) ^0_OLD^1
where the '^' in the pattern is the slice point, and ^0 and ^1 are the
resulting pieces.
