I’d stop worrying about Save As and start worrying about Save. Run
Filemon on Microsoft Word and take a look at all the renames, deletes,
and whatnot that occur with a simple Save operation (as a result of the
ReplaceFile API) and you’ll see how complicated it is.

This can only be done via empirical analysis. I would not ship code like
that.

Read Stgxxx chapter of COM/OLE documentation. MS Office apps rely on
OLE heavily.
