There are no plans to change the current default behavior. The question is just \
whether we provide an option for users that don't like the current default. If (!) an \
option should be provided then at least I would not accept a patch that copies the \
Windows-behavior with the unpredictable copy/move-behavior. I'd suggest that the user \
can select between the current default behavior or one consistent operation.
