Hmm...

Actually, any use of the "base name" will be uniquify-specific as well,
so I'll still say "Yuck!".

But I guess it's difficult to avoid it.  But instead of using uniquify
internal data such as uniquify-managed, please change uniquify.el so it
provides the necessary function, e.g. `uniquify-base-name', with an
explanation of why/where it is used/needed.

Indeed for uniquified buffers, you should only [need to] save the
base-name to disk, so there's no need to change the disk representation
of your data.
