	Good point.

	I can make it easier than that.  Let's say I am in one of the
user directories that can't su to root.  To demonstrate the new
behavior,

$ ls >/tmp/testfile
$ mv /tmp/testfile .
mv: ./testfile: set owner/group (was: 1003/0): Operation not permitted

That's all you need to make it happen.
