As I said on irc, this is obviously a bug (or at least a faulty design). We 
cannot have a store class that cannot open a perfectly valid file just because 
the filename starts with a figure. This has to be fixed.

The tricky part is that there may be other code that depends on this 
behaviour. Can we have a comment from the old guard regarding this (David)?
