But maybe that's unrealistic (I guess the foobar -> > foob~1 rewrite in some Windows cases probably can't work without > hitting the disk). It _can_ work, given slightly more work, and sometimes we will have to be less than 100% reliable, e.g. if more than a single foob~N file exist in the same directory. > But then it's not "file-name-equal" but "file-equal". Except for the issue with non-existing files, is there difference, btw?
