Not sure if this is a feature already, but need something to blatently tell user they
have opened a temporary file.
scenario: I was deep searching a directory for a pattern and inadvertently clicked
on and opened a temporary file that has the "~" character at the end. I edited the
file for days and noticed the file date never changed in my ftp program. couldnt figure
out why date never changed.
I filter temp files in FTP, so the current file was never shown. So I had been editing
"filename.ext~" which was filtered at my FTP, as well as its temporary file, "filename.ext~~".
It took me some deciphering to find out what was happening, because the path names
are so long, the ext~~ was usually clipped off in most contexts.
So a solution that would make sense at least to me is to show the filname differently
in drop down, and maybe a different color in title of window.
Thanks.

Buffer itself has an isTemporary() flag which can be used to determine if the buffer
is temporary. It's just not exposed in the GUI.
