Now, why would you be wanting to depend on the system to have to do the thinking for you. For example, if you (or someone you know) have written code that winds up calling rename $old, $new;, where $old eq $new, then I would consider that a flaw in the thought process that went into designing the code, not the fault of the system's rename.
