   I don't think bugs need numbers, just no-bugs-database should be
   enough.

numbers are symbolic (see comp.lang.lisp thread on packaging).  they
have extra properties that are useful for ordering and concise to
reference.

   Yes, good point.  What about simply saying that the bug file itself
   has no "." in its name, and related files like test scripts do?

i suggest dot dirs in my other mail (using numbers, but i fancy
N.SHORT-DESC would be the righteous hybrid solution).
