No, both are meant to co-exist. I guess we could introduce a new option (-selection vs -test-selection and hide -test-selection)? Another approach that I was thinking about is to have a special hidden subcommand for each action (e.g. test-local-rename).  Alternatively we could use two different tools (clang-refactor vs clang-refactor-test)? Both will have very similar code though.

Note that it's not the first time test logic will exist in the final tool. For example, llvm-cov has a `convert-for-testing` subcommand that exists in the production tool. I'm not saying that it's necessarily the best option though, but I don't think it's the worst one either ;)
