But doesn't Vim first write the contents to a temporary file and then
rename it, at least in cases where the file isn't a symlink? In that
case the temporary file could be deleted instead of renamed if Vim
detects that the writing failed. It would be interesting to know the
value of 'backupcopy' here.
