This is a script designed to be "safe" drop-in replacements for the
shutil move() and copyfile() functions.

These functions are safe because they should never overwrite an
existing file. In particular, if you try to move/copy to dst and
there's already a file at dst, these functions will attempt to copy to
a slightly different (but free) filename, to avoid accidental data loss.
