Thanks, Eli.  I think it will help, nevertheless.  Without this
it is really not easy to ask Emacs what those ~-suffixed files
are.  A user sees them and can wonder what they are.  This will
help.

But I agree with you that when there are multiple index entries
that match a prefix it is cumbersome to notice and get to one
that you might want.  That's a general problem.
