If I were looking at the documentation with fresh eyes, I would 
be just as confused as the OP's brother. It's not about being 
non-techy. Someone had an issue with the documentation and 
commenting on their inexperience won't improve the documentation. 
The documentation has no examples. It doesn't mention file paths 
at all. I.e., easy to get confused.

Moreover, posix systems have mv, which can move and rename. mv is 
a crappy name, but at least if the function would have the same 
semantics as mv, they could have named it move instead of rename. 
Seems like a silly breaking change at this point, so they should 
just improve the docs.
