--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
It is reasonable, and has a much more important feature to prevent unwanted
rewrite of a backup when several files in a single directory share the same
name, and differ only by extension (my_project.ODF, my_project.ODS) - but thus
has a potential of exceeding the filename length limitation (e.g., file name is
near the limit, and four more characters exceed the limit).

However, we already create longer names for lockfiles - so no idea how
important the possible length limit problem is. We always may simply fallback
to the old naming.

By the way, I's prefer "TEST.ODS.BAK", not "TEST_ods.BAK".
