Moving a File

[Richard Gaskin]

FWIW, I think the rename command is just fine exactly as it is.  It lets 
you rename any part of a file's complete path name, which metaphorically 
may also change the "location" of the file (for whatever that really 
means in the bowels of a file system).  It's simple to use and quite robust.

And I also find it convenient that it will faithfully execute even when 
another file already exists at that location, since we have the "exists" 
function and "there is" operators to make a determination in cases where 
we may need to do something different.

That said, I agree that it should be considered an error of omission 
that the overwriting behavior is not included in the docs.

Which leads us to this central question:

Dave, what is the Bugzilla number for the request you filed for this 
suggestion?

That will let us vote for it, so it'll help those of us who agree with 
you to better support your desire for this change.
