Visit an existing file and type
M-x rename-visited-file RET /path/to/existing/directory/ending/with/slash/ RET
and notice that the command half succeeds.
The file is successfully copied to the target directory, because
'rename-file' handles directories. 'set-visited-file-name' doesn't
handle directories and signals an error.
