>> Heavy discussion concerning backups goes here
Another fine solution to the backup problem
is to prepend dots as backups are spawned.
That would lead to unix displaying its
data structures like tex:
ls -a
.dvi.c
..dvi.c
...dvi.c
.def.c
..def.c
dvi.c
def.c
and by setting showboxdepth to 0 or 1
ls would print
ls -1:
.dvi.c
.etc.
.def.c
.etc.
dvi.c
def.c
ls -0
dvi.c
def.c
