Summary: fileinput deletes backups without warnin
Initial Comment:
When using the fileinput module with inplace=1 and a
specific
backup extension the file stays around as documented,
but if it existed before it gets overwritten without
warning.
This should be documented.
"Backup files are overriden silently."
Other possible fixes could include adding an
overwrite=0 argument
so that an exceptions is thrown when overwrite=0.

Specific annotation added:
"(if a file of the same name as the backup file already
exists, it will be replaced silently)"
