The variables should be named auto-save-functions, according to conventions since 15 years ago. But it isn't quite straightforward, because the code in fileio.c uses a static variable auto_saving which alters the behavior of write-region. We do theoretically have a problem with this now, since the call to Fsleep_for could run a process filter or sentinel. So it would be good to change that mechanism.
