I've written code to make `path-utils:generate-autosave-name` always do what the current implementation does for foreign `path-for-some-system?` values (ignore everything but the final path element; convert that to a `path?`) and...

I've added a commit to make `path-utils:generate-autosave-name` work with foreign `path-for-some-system?` values.

Someone reminded me of this pull request at RacketCon. I'm writing this mostly to remind myself to look at it again when I get home. I don't immediately remember what...

That is what I am doing now. I think for some reason I had originally thought that function on the right-hand side of a `dispatch-rules` clause was required to return...
