It's not unreasonable, but these are rather low-level operations, I'm
not sure I want to run hooks from them.

Of course you can use an `advice' in the mean time, but maybe a better
long-term answer is the file-notification API so that your code would
know about renames not only when they're performed from the same Emacs
