Auto-save sounds very useful to me as well. Maybe keep it disabled by
default, allowing users to enable it (tick-mark in the settings
dialogues), with strong warning about this over-writing behaviour.
Indeed I agree with the grandparent that auto-save should not overwrite
the current file (can't the auto-save function, when calling the save
function, automatically add .autosave to the file name or so? I haven't
read the source so no idea whether it is possible).

Personally I don't experiment very often; and when I do I usually first
save a copy to a different name, and play with that.

Wouter.
