But then, this could become a pain for users who use the same kind of
automatic logfile names as I do. This would also break backward
compatibility, while Igor's proposal merely changes a no-op (anything
following \l was ignored) into something sensible.

Besides it's easy to emulate such a behaviour using user functions:

chlog_read(f) = default(logfile,f".ps"); read(f);
