I thought that --suffix=$name would be a good way to disambiguate but found that --numbered-files wins and kills any suffix. Hence suggestion that --suffix used with --numbered-files is allowed to generate a filename suffix as it does when not in "numbered files" mode. In the absence of a --suffix command, the behaviour would be as now.
