Research direction

Start with cmd/download.go at lines 198-199 and read issue #457 for the related context. Determine the expected behavior when downloading would collide with an existing solution file; done means the TODO is resolved and the collision behavior is covered by the project's relevant verification.

Description

In effort to resolve TODO comments, I'm in the process of promoting them to issues.

https://github.com/exercism/cli/blob/a86f82974270d2da2090a02437560897a216abc3/cmd/download.go#L198-L199

It seems like https://github.com/exercism/cli/issues/457 is related. Is this still pending further info?
