Well, then, the already rare scenario I described is even rarer - only
a daily desktop screenshot blogger would ever enjoy this ;-)

Maybe riccardo (nice work btw) should make the patch do this:
- when no date is found, increment the last number
- when a date is found, don't increment it, but add a -x number to it...

I think that makes most sense. Sounds rather easy, too.
