If you disagree with what I did to this issue, you're probably right
(since I was doing a BFS and didn't study each issue in the deepest
possible manner).
In this instance I think we already have issues for that --- eg, compare
Stefan's recent work on implementing moves/renames (which?) in wc-ng ---
but if we don't, +1 to reopen.
