Quite an interesting behavior. The other FM that I know that allows this
is rox-filer. But, that FM does the rename in a popup window whereas EFM
does it inline. Also, the directory must exist otherwise rox complains.
I would say provide a notification to the user in case the user types
in "/" in the new file name, like, "file <previous_name> moved to the
directory <dir_name> as <new filename>". This will help the user
determine the directory it went to in case the / was typed in erroneously.
