I have added an option called filename_base which sets the main string
to be used in attachment names. The extension will be added to the end
if one is found (i.e. attachment.###).
I haven't tried to make the attachment number show up in the name that
the user normally sees, but for attachments other than the first, the
attachment number is inserted at the beginning of the actual filename and
url. This attachment number has always been getting inserted like that,
so there was never any significant risk of filename clashes.
