FWIW: In the manner I can envision using this, it makes more sense to delete
the source as long as the destination file is valid, whether that file
moved during this execution or not. This provides a "mv" function that's
safe against a failure. That is, if something breaks between the copy and
delete operations of an execution, the next execution will perform the
delete.
