Don't even think about it --- unless you are prepared to reverse the
change during restore. You could possibly rename NNNNNN to
postgresql-wal-NNNNNN or something like that, and then back again in
the restore script. But pray tell what is the point? Just put them
in a subdirectory that explains what they are, and save yourself some
trouble.
