Do you think it would be a good idea to change the
way auto save file names are generated?

Right now, the auto save file for `foo' is called `#foo'.
Possible alternatives could be `foo#' or `#foo#',
or anything else you suggest.

Please tell me whatever advantages or disadvantages you
see in possible alternative names.
