Thanks, but I see no need, because using that function doesn't solve
any problems we have (it isn't guaranteed to be atomic if the
destination exists), and adds new complexity (because it won't move
files across volumes, and because it didn't exist before XP).  The
"complications" I mentioned above are already implemented and well
tested, so I see no point in eliminating them.
