I figured there must be something in the context, but I confirm that
you're the sane one and the docs are a bit wacky there. The only
"CTRL-V p" I was able to find in Vim is when you paste while in
block-wise visual mode (":help v_p"), but that has nothing to do with
filenames, let alone their extensions.

Based on the Mercurial repo, this text has been there since roughly
the original load into Mercurial ("hg blame
vim/src/doc/cmdline.txt"), so I suspect one would have to dig into
the older source archive (I don't remember whether it was CVS or SVN).

My *guess* is that the documentation intends to refer to "<cword>"
and/or "<cfile>", as below your quoted text you find examples of them
where I'd expect to see "CTRL-V p" mentioned.
