We've talked about adding the title to the filename several times over the years and it seems really valuable. This requires us to compute a "slug" for the title spelling that can be part of the filename. Beyond that, we crossed 7000 recently, and so it seems likely that we will need to add digits sooner rather than later here, so this goes ahead and moves us to 6 digits so we don't have to adjust again for a reasonable length of time. To implement this and ensure we can sustain it going forward this adds a tool to our pre-commit that validates (and corrects if needed) the filename. In order to update everything and keep links working, there are a _lot_ of changes, but the most interesting for direct review are in `proposals/scripts`.

Generics overview
Table of contents
Problem
We want to Carbon to have a high quality generics feature that achieves the goals set out in #24. This is too big a feature to land in a single proposal. This proposal specifies the feature at the level of an overview description. This overview document is intended to act as a starting point for people interested in the generics feature by providing:
- a high-level description of the generics feature, and
- pointers to documents that go deeper into individual topics.
Background
This is a follow on to these previous generics proposals:
The content for this proposal was extracted from a larger Generics combined draft proposal.
Proposal
This is a proposal to add this overview document.
Rationale based on Carbon's goals
Much of this rationale was captured in the Generics goals proposal.
Alternatives considered
Alternatives considered will be in a future proposal. Some of them can be seen in a rough form in #36.
