+ "How to construct unique buffer names for files with the same base name.
+The value can be one of: `forward', `reverse', `post-forward',
+`post-forward-angle-brackets', or nil.
+
+For example, the files `/foo/bar/mumble/name' and `/baz/quux/mumble/name'
would have the following buffer names in the various styles:
- forward bar/mumble/name quux/mumble/name
- reverse name\\mumble\\bar name\\mumble\\quux
- post-forward name|bar/mumble name|quux/mumble
- post-forward-angle-brackets name<bar/mumble> name<quux/mumble>
- nil name name<2>
-Of course, the \"mumble\" part may be stripped as well, depending on the setting
-of `uniquify-strip-common-suffix'."
