Oh. I was aware of there being at least two different "rename" utilities
on Linux systems, this one from util-linux and a perl-based one using
regexes, but I hadn't noticed this wording in the online manual and
usage output.

Yes, this change probably helps telling it apart from the perl-based
rename.

(I don't recall what made confusion more prone in the case of this
utility, was it that some distributions installed the perl one as
"rename"?)
