I'm really unsure, because it would then be explicitly doing what the user
asked it NOT to.

If the new feature was enabled by a separate checkbox (smart autosave), then I
suppose it wouldn't hurt, because you could fairly argue that it means the user
allows the program to override their stated auto-save period.

The thing that confuses me most is that autosave can kick in minutes or even
seconds after an explicit manual save.

if the user has set the autosave period to X minutes, surely the period that is
compared to X, is the time since last save?  Where that save could be an
autosave or a manual save.  So X is measured from the most recent save.

Surely it is not measuring the autosave from the last time autosave was
triggered?!  If so, that seems to me to be the problem, and the fix is simple.
