I think this sounds like a useful command, but I'm not sure about the
name:

This is about moving the file the current buffer is visiting -- there's
no such thing as a "current file" in Emacs -- so the command name (and
doc string) should reflect that.  I don't really have a suggestion for a
better command name, though.  Anybody?
