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.
