Id this patch is deemed appropriate there is still one small issue.

should it be as it is:

A) document.lyx -> document-lyx21.lyx

or

B) document.lyx -> document.21.lyx

as it is with the downgrade option format.

IIRC it used to be lyx21 but it was considered too verbose.

This is exactly the point I wanted to comment on: I would prefer a name like document.21.lyx~, which would be the exact equivalent of the export-to-old format. Of course, this may collide with the backup of a file export et to 2.1.x format of the same name. But is this something that happens? To be frank, I do not really know whether my proposal is correct.

OK, let's a propose a few things:
- always use a period as separator, like we do for export (be consistent). Or, if we think that the period was a bad idea, use something else (minus or underscore) consistently.

- if we use a prefix to avoid ambiguity with export, use either lyx21.lyx~ or fmt123.lyx~.

PS: Do you like my proposed colors for the bikeshed?
