What will happen when you reach 1000 saves

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

In Skyrim, I make backups of my quicksaves very often, and I have a question: what will happen if you save the game more than 999 times (with overwriting, while I made 150 saves in Skyrim, I have only about 30 individual save files)?

I just hit 1000 save games in Skyrim yesterday and I can tell you that nothing bad happens. The counter is able to handle 4 digits save game files without any problem. I am currently at save game number 1030 or so.
