I just saw that the new semantics was implemented in your patch as an
optional, keyword argument :error, specifying whether to signal an
error whether the file exists.

I also saw that you had specific code for the Windows port. Is this
required? I mean, ECL uses rename(), a posix function. Does the
Windows implementation of rename() have a different behavior than what
posix demands, namely that it atomically replaces the destination?
