!    Rename this file or directory to the given *target*. On Unix, 
!    if *target* exists and is a file, it will be replaced silently 
!    if the user has permission. *target* can be either a string or 
!    another path object::
  
        >>> p = Path('foo')
        >>> p.open('w').write('some text')
