Hello,

looking into my .Xdefaults, I find:

  URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd:  ~/.bin/pub %
  URxvt.selection-pastebin.url:  http\072\057\057scratch.madduck.net/__tmp__%
  URxvt.keysym.C-M-p:            perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin

and after playing around a little bit, I think I remember that I was
simply trying to improve the filename, and I noticed the
substitution without the 'g' flag and wondered why that would be.

In the end, I agree that it's probably not necessary to have the 'g'
flag in there, but it also probably wouldn't hurt.

Meanwhile, I wish that there would be another token that just got
the filename (not the path with /tmp) — or that % would simply be
the filename and the extension would honour $TMPDIR.

Should I repurpose this bug report for those wishlist requests? ;)
