From "man csh":

    The `:' separating the event specification from the word
     designator can be omitted if the argument selector begins
     with a `^', `$', `*' `-' or `%'.  After the optional word
     designator can be placed a sequence of modifiers, each pre-
     ceded by a `:'.  The following modifiers are defined:

          h      Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving the head.
          r      Remove a trailing `.xxx' component, leaving the root name.
          e      Remove all but the extension `.xxx' part.
          s/l/r/ Substitute l for r
          t      Remove all leading pathname components, leaving the tail.
          &      Repeat the previous substitution.
          g      Apply the change globally, prefixing the above, e.g. `g&'.
          p      Print the new command but do not execute it.
          q      Quote the substituted words, preventing further substitutions.
          x      Like q, but break into words at blanks, tabs and newlines.
