+Each transform is a list (REGEXP REPLACEMENT UNIQUIFY):
 REGEXP is a regular expression to match against the file name.
 If it matches, `replace-match' is used to replace the
 matching part with REPLACEMENT.
+If the optional element UNIQUIFY is non-nil, the auto-save file name is
+constructed by taking the directory part of the replaced file-name,

 All the transforms in the list are tried, in the order they are listed.
