Want to avoid making people come up with a name for a file they're about to upload.
whenever there's a [pointer]+*autoname card. (Apply Ruby's next to get the next name, (1->2, AZ->BB, etc. (We could soft format *autoname+*rform to 0, and update +*autoname whenever we create a card.)
Implement full for Pointer input and implement autoname by right. Then, if:
- "Working Drafts+*rform" is a Pointer and soft,
- "Working Drafts+*input" == full,
- "Working Drafts+*autoname" exists, and
- "Working Drafts+*options" finds Files or Images, you'd see something like this:
Also see add ability to limit number of Pointer items and add min number of Pointer items

Thoughts:
- why have special functionality for images and files when we might want these for lists of any type?
- right now we only have one interface for adding new cards, and there are a lot of good code reasons for trying to keep it that way.
- Seems weird to take away the old way, at least if there are still examples of people wanting to reuse already uploaded cards
- also seems weird to make people make several correct clicks in order to see an upload button.
My current thought is that this needs to be done as a new pointer type. more later
