For now at least, svn code supports another macro for history expansion
%!...
where characters after the '%' can be many of the forms available in bash, csh
(etc?):
!! (== !1 or !-1)
![-]n (all values are 'backward' in history)
!beginswith
any of the above immediately followed by a 'word(s)' specifier:
:n
:n-m
:-m (== 0 to m)
:n-$ (== n to last)
:-$ (== 0 to last)
:^ (== 1 i.e. first argument)
:$ (== last)
:* (== 1 to last)
shortforms for using immediately previous command
!^
!$
!*
%h... works the same as %!...
Not much tested. Feel free to evaluate, while waiting for 0.5 release.

Tom
