In tcsh, :t appears to be ignored unless it's used on a single word.
E.g. `!!:t' is the same as `!!' and `!*:t' is the same as `!*', but
`!$:t' is the tail of the last word and `!:5:t' is the tail of the 5th
word, etc., and `!!:gt' applies :t to every individual word.

I don't have an old BSD csh around to play with, and I don't remember
what it did.  Zsh's handling is almost certainly based on BSD 4.2-or-so
csh rather than tcsh.

!!:t applies to line, not words

Do you think this is right?  It's not how it works with arrays.

% print words with no path /a/path more words
words with no path /a/path more words
% print !!:t
% print path more words
