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.
