Yes, Mike, I know. It could be opened, closed, deleted, replaced, locked,
unlocked, moved, or even renamed in the interim. The user's access
privileges for the item could change, as could the item's owner and group.
As hard as it may be for you to believe, not everyone needs you to explain
every possibility. I can't guard against every possibility, so I'm not going
to expend a lot of energy trying. Instead, I'll use a reasonable set of
tests based on the nature of the feature and the problems that are most
likely to be encountered while using this feature, and if errors are
encountered while renaming I'll deal with them at that time.

Well, there you go. I have enough to do that needs doing and I know how to
do that I'm not going to worry about something that isn't essential and I
don't even know how to do. ;-)
