It was _suggested_ that they be junked, that doesn't mean they can't be kept
if there's a good reason to have two different operations.

Well, more natural for unix users, anyway.  Anyway, I think that's a
non-issue -- it certainly makes sense to have `mv' as an alias for `move',
but I think it's good to have both (and they should definitely have the same
meaning!).
