Yeah, for general (non-necessarily-arch-related) use, ",file" is the golden
one (I actually used it before I used arch, apparently having picked up the
habit from the same place Tom did, but completely forgot about all the
conventions except for ",foo").
"+file" can be annoying because of vi/more, but it is handy for using with
arch: basically anytime you want to make a non-temporary but non-source file
in an arch project tree, use "+foo". E.g., if I want to save my changes for
hacking on another day, I do `tla undo -o +admirable-hacks.cset', and
tree-lint etc will completely ignore it. [Thus the name "precious" -- it's
like ",foo" but for more precious files ... ]
