This is an "auto save file" ( see (xemacs)Auto Save Files). You can redefine
make-auto-save-file-name with something like
(defvar old-autosave (symbol-function 'make-auto-save-file-name))
(defun make-auto-save-file-name (&optional file-name)
(if (and filename
(string-match "\\.Vcl$" file-name))
(concat "#" (replace-in-string filename "\\." ",")
"#")
(funcall old-autosave file-name)))
Hmm, maybe that'd be cleaner as advice. Redefining make-auto-save-file-name
is sort of an ugly way to customize it; I should look at emacs's
auto-save-file-name-transforms or maybe just copy it over once the GPLv3
relicensure is done.
