for postforms in inlines of pages which follow a certain scheme, it might not
be required to set the title for each individual post, but to automatically set
munging mechanism, which appends numbers to page titles in case that page
already exists.
-two patches ([1], [2]) set inline up for that, adding an additional `autotitle`
+two patches (b568eb25, 34bc82f2) set inline up for that, adding an additional `autotitle`
parameter. if that is given, the regular input of the inline postform will be
replaced with a hidden input of that text. in addition, the empty title is
permitted (both for autotitle and regular titles, as they go in the same GET
the second patch is actually a one-liner, filtering the title through strftime.

### potential user interaction issues
this has two side effects which have to be considered: first, the empty page
in "the 10%-rule").
both can be circumvented by using another GET parameter for autotexts, as
-implemented in [3].

cool (eg for creating an entry with yesterday's date), but would be a bit of a
problem with static pages. javascript could help with the date part, but name
munging would be yet another thing.
