This gives foo the permissions of foo.new, and may or may not be
desirable. Also, it's a two-command operation while perl -i is one. To
me, in place editing is cleaner. I don't need to use Perl (even though I
happen to like the Perl way of doing regexps), but would like something
that is not different in -stable and -current for replacement..
