  50 +On &#91;&#91;todo/auto-create_tag_pages_according_to_a_template&#93;&#93;, &#91;&#91;chrysn&#93;&#93;
  51 +suggests:
  52 +
  53 +&gt; Instead of creating a file that gets checked in into the RCS, the
  54 +&gt; source files could be left out and the output files be written as
  55 +&gt; long as there is no physical source file (think of a virtual underlay).
  56 +&gt; Something similar would be required to implement alias directive,
  57 +&gt; which couldn&#39;t be easily done by writing to the RCS as the page&#39;s
  58 +&gt; contents can change depending on which other pages claim it as an alias.
  59 +
  60 +`add_autofile` could be adapted to do this, or a similar API could be
  61 +added.
  62 +
  63 +This would also be useful for autoindex, as suggested on
  64 +&#91;&#91;plugins/autoindex/discussion&#93;&#93;. I&#39;d also like to use it for
  65 +&#91;&#91;plugins/contrib/album&#93;&#93;.
  66 +
  67 +One refinement I&#39;d suggest is that if the transient page is edited,
  68 +its transient contents are evaluated and used as the initial
  69 +content for the edit box; after that, it&#39;d become a static page. --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;
