Yes, we should definitely disallow '/' in the new label; a simple check
for 'strchr(lbl, '/') != NULL' will do the trick. Not sure what the
right error in that case is .. EMVDESC is the closest, but we should
probably introduce a new one, say AUG_ELABEL.

I don't think that rename should allow a move.
