Hmm, "the files aren't created" is true, but I had to scratch my head if you are describing a bug or justifying the change by saying "so filename does not matter".

I think the change makes sense. It could be argued that combination of these two options should give a warning("ignoring --numbered"), but I do not think it is even worth it.
