Logic is perfect again.

I adjusted the help output a little like:

-  -a, --suffix-length=N   use suffixes of length N (default %d)\n\
-      --additional-suffix=SUFFIX  append an additional SUFFIX to output file\n\
-                                       names. SUFFIX must not contain slash.\n\
+  -a, --suffix-length=N   generate suffixes of length N (default %d)\n\
+      --additional-suffix=SUFFIX  append an additional SUFFIX to file names.\n\

I'll push later on.

cheers,
Pádraig.

Hmm, considering that we recently taught mktemp how to honor suffixes,
it does indeed sound like this might be a useful feature addition.  It's
probably not going to be my highest priority to write such a patch, but
I'll gladly review any patch written by someone else.
