The "no explicit representation of directories" thing is a little
confusing; it only applies to creating them.  (We're fixing this so
that we really truly do have explicit representation of directories
everywhere, which should remove the confusion...)

Your example doesn't need to be fixed, because it has always worked
correctly, for as long as we've supported renames at all.

must debate everything, and there would be no end to the discussion).
