Description:
------------
"rename — Renames a file or directory"

"Attempts to rename oldname to newname, moving it between directories if necessary. If newname
exists, it will be overwritten."

Rename will not overwrite a directory that already exists.

Test script:
---------------
mkdir('a/', 0777);
mkdir('b/', 0777);
rename('a/', 'b/');

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: rename(a/,b/): File exists
