Right, as Manuel also pointed out.  This could say "remove all but the
part of the file extension following the `.'" and refer to :r.  That
seems to be unambiguous, given that :r defines it to include the ".".

(Or we could of course say that :r removed the "." and the file
extension, but that seems to make the description more waffly.)
