Clever

I don't know about the library. Is it possible for for it to do _more_ than its 
job ?

The core of the rename process is just 2 calls to glibc rename() - from oldname 
to temp, and later from temp to newname. I can't think of any good reason for 
those to be treated like a deletion. Between the renames, any already-existing 
"newname" is deleted of course, and that's what I'd expect to go to your trash.
