+Organising large amounts of files via the command line is cumbersome. The
+standard UNIX `mv` command can rename a file or directory, or move items in
+bulk, but the two operations cannot be combined. Furthermore, editing
+capabilities on the command line offered by most shells are too limited to
+comfortably alter long file or directory names, or add characters from foreign
+character sets. Names containing spaces or other special characters should be
+quoted or escaped, adding yet another layer of annoyance.

+Larry Wall's `rename` complements `mv` with the ability to rename in bulk, but
+being based on regular expressions it is suited mostly for file sets that share
+a common naming structure. It also requires fluidity in Perl's regular
