No, because you don't cover the case where both files legitimately need
patching.  Why bail out with error when I *want* both patches to exist?
 You are forcing me to rename one?  to what?

I've been using "_" => "__" for a while now, it's not bad.  Yes, double
underscore remains but a very low frequency.  The main issue is that it
represents a different character ("_") than it does now ("\").
