I don't think so.  It was certainly suggested that he rename it.  When I 
got the idea that he wasn't too concerned about fixing compatibility 
problems, I stopped testing his stuff.

Example:
C:\
  |-dir1
    |-file1.txt
    |-file2.txt
  |-dir2

cd \dir2
move \dir1

Correct behavior is to now have:
C:\
  |-dir2
    |-dir1
      |-file1.txt
      |-file2.txt

Instead, 4* gives you this:
C:\
  |-dir1
  |-dir2
    |-file1.txt
    |-file2.txt

This would be correct if you typed "move \dir1\*" - but that's not what 
was asked for!!!
