fixup: renamed "backups" to "recovery files"
* Other editors call "backup files" previous copies of saved files. This role would be served by savepoint files in SciTECO. * Likewise filename~ would point to such a backup file. It therefore makes sense that savepoint files also end in tildes (.teco-n-filename~). * Security copies of modified buffers would be called "auto-saves" (Emacs) or "swap files" (Vim). Both of these terms is IMHO misleading, so SciTECO now uses the term "recovery file". * "Recovery files" are now named #filename# just like in Emacs.

* Touch restored save point files - should perhaps be configurable.
This is important when working with Makefiles, as make looks
at the modification times of files.
- * Could we somehow offer to open backup~ files?
- opener.tes and session.tes operate in batch mode and interactively
- asking what to do wouldn't always work in the GUI variants.
+ * Could we somehow offer to open #recovery# files?
+ This would require a hook on interactive startup and/or after
+ command-line termination.
Also, we'd need a command to fetch the modification timestamp
as well.
* Error handling in SciTECO macros: Allow throwing errors with
