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.
