I don't think we talked about it, but way back when I first posted that
script there was general discussion about how that was a pain and (I
believe prompted by you, actually) I fixed that in commit 4857e59b250f2.
So that should be all done for 1.7.  Well, maybe not the documentation
bits, but at least now all callers of post(8) make sure the draft filename
is last.
