Sorry, I was under the impression that recreating the file was the default behavior. Reading thread more carefully, I see that I had this backwards. Given that and the above, I think I tend to side with Manoj on this. Although I think I'm a little less hard-line than he is, and might be willing to consider allowing exceptions if they're well documented.
