In the following bug report it's highlighted that rdmd renames 
directories if they share the same name as the output file.

Is there a consensus of opinion on what rdmd should do in this

be a switch to enable this behaviour?

Personally I think it *should* fail and report the name clash. 
The switch should not implemented.
