Naming and storage directory are part of the same problem (and solution)

The code is prepared to have different naming schemes. I did not think of 
renaming and moving the original, but inspecting the code it seems there is no 
obstacle.

Initially, I had plans to allow scripts providing a custom naming scheme. It 
appeared that the relevant parts were a bit more complex than expected, so I 
prefer to have a closed set of options, possibly with some configuration.

There is a long discussion in some bug reports about naming schemes, without 
any conclusive suggestions.
