How about a warning (in the echo area, without beep) if you read in a file
when you have another of the same NAME and TYPE but different VERSION?
Also, if two files of the same name, one type :UNSPECIFIC and one type
anything else. The check should also occur before renaming a file with
^X^W, and more actively complain if the filename would in fact be duplcated,
since this is almost certain to leave you totally confused.
