In this case the easy remapping (or one of the easy remapping options)
is to simply provide a *freshly written* file with the "forbidden"
name that chains to the modified file. The capability to do so is
inherent in the *language* in which the work is written (namely the
TeX macro language), so it cannot be removed.
