Yes, I've been using for a bit.
> There are no benefits to @auto

Here are the differences I've noticed so far, with my opinionated
classifications

Cost of @clean vs @auto:
- @clean duplicates every line in the external file
- @clean creates a new top-level node "Recovered Nodes"
  anytime an external file is edited outside Leo
- the "Recovered Nodes" node contains 2 children, each with a version
  (the Leo file now has 2 additional copies of the contents of changed node)
- @clean "Refresh from disk" does not sync node headline with changed
  method name

Benefit of @clean vs @auto:
- @clean offers persistent gnx and ua
- @clean Leo files open faster

Displaying versions in the "Recovered Nodes" tree is interesting,
however I don't yet see how I'll make use of it, if I don't, it's kind
of spammy. It will create a lot of churn if the Leo file is versioned.

Could the "Recovered Nodes" tree creation be turned off?
If it's only purpose is informational ...

Thanks,
Kent
