Moving a File

[Mark Smith]

Well, not to belabour the point (much), but since it's quite clear  
from the docs that the rename command can move a file to a new  
location, it seems pretty reasonable to expect that a developer would  
consider checking for the existence of a similarly named file in the  
target location and deciding what to do about it before going ahead...

Best,

Mark
