Yes, of course.  I understood that. But I though your point was that
making them visible to the user allows you to change them explicitly.
For instance, if you were to make a mistake while creating a sequence of
plots interactively you could do PLOT_NUMBER = PLOT_NUMBER -1
before fixing the error and replotting.  This would overwrite the
erroneous file containing the erroneous file and then continue on 
in the same sequence as before.
