Hm. So here's my problem -- for cite keys, I use something like
"first author's last name"-"journal"-"year" followed by a lowercase
letter if necessary for uniqueness. I can't auto-generate them
because I use my own quirky abbreviations for journal names (e.g.,
"Journal of Fluid Mechanics" is "jfm", but "Annual Review of Fluid
Mechanics" is "annrevfm"). Each cite key is unique, so I use them as
autofile specifiers and all of my references live happily in a single
folder on my disk. Is there any way to achieve this in 1.3.13?
I suppose that this is a lengthy way of asking, "Is there any way to
have the cite key and the file name be the same?"

Yes, I see that now -- sorry I missed it. I apologize for the overlap.
Thanks very much for your help.
Best, Chris
