OK, so we agree: a forced SAve of a file can coexist with a backup
of the previous SAved version of the file. No surprise there, since
BK=1 works fine in Xy3+ and earlier versions of Editor, where the
SAve command does a disk write even if the file's contents haven't
changed.

Your comment about directories with an extension went right by me.
You're correct, of course: my code would bomb if any directory in
the filepath contained a dot. Here's a fix:
