Though the knowledge required to do this may be more trivial for some of us than others! "cat" probably doesn't have much going for it that a naive implementation would miss - some versions will recreate "holes", but most applications will never miss this. You can replace "mv" with os.rename() if you don't care that it will fail when the destination is on a different filesystem. Etc.
