For example, a file named .cvimrc automatically gets renamed as .cvimrc.txt and
there is no way to override that with gist-supported-modes-alist to have no
extension since a . always gets appended.
If the file already has a name, then just use it! If it is a buffer with no file
associated then it's worthwhile guessing/asking about the filename, but don't
otherwise change it.
