It's a reasonable question. A user sees files with `~' at the end of
the name, and wonders what they are. How to find info about that in the
manual?

I added index entries, but I really doubt this will help
discoverability: there are 12 index entries in the manual that include
"~", and the new one I added is the 5th hit...
