What did you do?

Project structure:

/project_name
    /app
    main.go

If run go build -o app ., it will create executable project_name in app directory

What did you expect to see?

Some kind of error message, that would say that there's already directory with such name.

Did you see go help build?

The -o flag forces build to write the resulting executable or object to the named output file or directory

Changing this would mean changing the documented behavior, and likely breaking many users.
