[issue29805] Pathlib.replace cannot move file to a different drive on Windows if filename different

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

Moving a file across volumes isn't atomic. Getting an exception in this case can be useful. There could be a "strict" keyword-only parameter that defaults to False. If it's true, then replace() won't try to move the file.
