Two ways out:
1) We leave the number of buffers at one; users can write standard
code for interpretive use of RENAME-FILE that uses PARSE or PARSE-NAME
such as
parse-name file1 s" file2" rename-file
(or they write non-standard code).
2) We standardize "at least two" buffers, and systems that don't want
to provide that have an environmental restriction.
