`make-auto-save-file-name' already tries to substitute the
default-directory in
(expand-file-name
(format "#%s#" buffer-name)
;; Try a few alternative directories, to get one we can
;; write it.
(cond
((file-writable-p default-directory) default-directory)
((file-writable-p "/var/tmp/") "/var/tmp/")
("~/")))))
What else should it do?
