Um, I'm working my way through the section `File Handling' in the manual
and came across the variable, uniquify-buffer-name-style, by way of the
node `Uniquify' and cannot find any trace of it, let alone how I might
set it to the value, forward.

  M-x customize-variable RET uniquify-buffer-name-style RET

I'm running Emacs 23.0.60.1 and I can confirm that this variable,
mentioned in (info "(emacs)Uniquify"), doesn't appear to exist according
to C-h v or customize-variable.

Cheers,

Tyler

Try putting (require 'uniquify) in .emacs.

Section 23.7.1 Making Buffer Names Unique in the manual doesn't mention
the elisp (require 'uniquify) before discussing customizing the
variable, uniquify-buffer-name-style.  Should it?

I think it's auto-loaded. C-h f uniq TAB gives a lot of functions.

Not on GNU Emacs 23.0.92.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of
2009-04-09 on g41r2f1.

If I evaluate (require 'uniquify), the variables and the functions
become available through C-h v and C-h f.

I'm totally digging having found this variable.  I have never wanted the
path in the title bar nor---god forbid---in the mode line.  However I
often have many files named `WORKSHEET' open and initializing this
variable with `forward' so solves ... scratches an itch I have had for a
long time.  Uh-huh, this completes a little system of every project
having a file of that name and `-*- outline -*-' at the top of each.

I don't have an older version of Emacs to check this on, do older
versions auto-load uniquify.el?

It's not.  Which is stupid.

I'm running 23.0.60.1, built from cvs on Debian, as well as the
prepackaged version 22.2.1 from the Debian Lenny repository, and neither
of them have uniquify autoloaded.

Thank you for your several reality checks, Tyler.
