How do I change the extensions on a slew of files

Hello Know-It-Alls,

If I have a directory with a whole slew of files with the same file
extension, for example:

1-1-1.inc
1-1-2.inc
1-1-3.inc
etc.

What command can I use to change the file extension - but keep the file
name the same - in one swell swoop? The equivalent command in Windows
would be:

C:\>ren *.inc *.htm
