++On &#91;&#91;todo/auto-create_tag_pages_according_to_a_template&#93;&#93;, &#91;&#91;chrysn&#93;&#93;
++suggests:
++
++&gt; Instead of creating a file that gets checked in into the RCS, the
++&gt; source files could be left out and the output files be written as
++&gt; long as there is no physical source file (think of a virtual underlay).
++&gt; Something similar would be required to implement alias directive,
++&gt; which couldn&#39;t be easily done by writing to the RCS as the page&#39;s
++&gt; contents can change depending on which other pages claim it as an alias.
++
++`add_autofile` could be adapted to do this, or a similar API could be
++added.
++
++This would also be useful for autoindex, as suggested on
++&#91;&#91;plugins/autoindex/discussion&#93;&#93;. I&#39;d also like to use it for
++&#91;&#91;plugins/contrib/album&#93;&#93;.
++
++One refinement I&#39;d suggest is that if the transient page is edited,
++its transient contents are evaluated and used as the initial
++content for the edit box; after that, it&#39;d become a static page. --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;
