If you look at cmd_record_save, you see it has (char *args).
GDB will pass "$a" as "args", so at that point you have the
opportunity to say, eg. "if (args[0] == '$') then do something".
One possibility would be to create your default name, eg.
gdb_record.12345, and then append $a making gdb_record.12345.1
That's the quick and dirty way. Something more elegant might
be better.

That is unfortunately a long-standing gdb "limitation" (I mean ,
known bug). It is so old that it is not likely to be fixed soon.
