      We are able to rename test.system.js to test.mycoll and vice versa. This seems odd and maybe shouldn't be allowed.

      db.system.js.insert({a: 2}); // system.js is a special system collection that users are allowed to write to.
db.system.js.renameCollection("mycoll"); // OK
db.mycoll.renameCollection("system.js"); // OK

      Please backport this if you decide to do it.
