The code using convert-standard-filename probably already feels a bit 
overloaded. convert-standard-filename is an "add on" to what one 
actually tries to do and it is easily left out. Requiring the coder to 
also add save-match-data seems like an unnecessary burden in this case 
and I therefore think that convert-standard-filename should call 
save-match-data internally.
