Many other editors allow sequential auto-saving. Usually the sequential auto-saved filenames have either just a version number (mySynth.autosave001.osm, mySynth.autosave002.osm...) or with a filedate & time (mySynth.20100326-2100-06.osm, mySynth.20100326-2104-44.osm...).
This will further help with recovering broken files & for backtracking mistakes and bug discovery.
edit: Some auto-save softwares put a limit to the number of auto-saves (eg deletes anything older than 5 versions, older than an hour, etc)

Me too - I suggested it before when malc was adding the open recovery folder preference, but I guess these things are easily lost when he has such a long list of requests!

A bit off topic, but here is an example:
Kirk-Infuzion GUI Knob10TextInputMinMax.osm
So we have:
1: project name "Kirk-Infuzion GUI Knob"
2: 2 or 3 digit version number (I try not to do v0.8.5.1z because that is long & silly)
3: what the big change I did this version
...in that order. If someone else contributed significantly, I make sure it is in the file name, atleast for a version or 2. Something I did to version Buzz, since it also crashed alot.

+1, but this thread is doubling a recent request for the same thing, isn't it?
