You're right in how it isn't obvious for non-techy people. I do 
suppose it would be doable without breaking any old code (unless 
for some arcane reason the code depends on static 
assert(!__traits(allMember, std.file).canFind("move"))...), so 
why not create a PR with "alias move = rename" inside?
