While reviewing I noticed that we use "overwrite" in the prompt of ln instead of "replace" and fixed it.
| OverwriteMode::Interactive => { | ||
| if !prompt_yes!("overwrite {}?", to.quote()) { | ||
| return Ok(()); | ||
| return Err(io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, "")); |

Can we do something else than constructing an io::Error? This is going to give a weird error message isn't it? For a PR like this, I guess it's OK, though.

$ touch a b && echo "n"|./target/debug/coreutils mv -i a b; echo $?
mv: overwrite 'b'?
