Martin has previously mentioned that he always starts his documents with a
title and summary information.
Personally I go for longer (but not particularly long) more descriptive
filenames to avoid the need for any additional information and I'd prefer
to see the file chooser kept simple and uncluttered by default but with
hidden extras or easy access to a file manager a bit like the Mac OS X
file chooser.
