# Generate the next filename in any numbered series of text files and open with emacs.
# Usage:
# $ next [descriptor] [tag]
# Handles optional string descriptor and tag. Like this:
# $ ls
# 011.blah.md
#
# $ next foo
# 012.foo.md
#
# $ next foo bar
# 013.foo.md
#
# Which populates the file like this:
#
# # 13.foo.md
# : 2024.01.14
# + bar
#
# See https://git.bth.moi/bth/um#next
# NOTE: handle the exit 1 case of last.sh
