Comment:

 Actually, never mind, Posix.rename behaves the same as Win32.moveFileEx,
 both check themselves that the destination is not a directory. The only
 problem is that the error message is misleading in some cases ("Access
 denied" instead of "InappropriateType"). Otherwise, it's all working as
 intended...
