I think this makes sense, so I've applied it to Emacs 28.1. However, it
is a slight behavioural change -- previously you could enter, say
"/tmp/bar/" (when moving one file), and it would move the file to the
file "/tmp/bar".
I think the new behaviour is better (i.e., bugging out), but if people
complain for some reason, then it should perhaps be reverted.
