[Richard]

You guys at google keep reading my mind and doing the projects that I
wish I had time to do :-).

Keep going!

This is totally awesome!

Please take advantage of the refactoring test suite I've created which
has lots of test cases for Rename, among others.

<https://github.com/LegalizeAdulthood/refactor-test-suite>

This is an ongoing effort but I've got 98 test cases for Rename alone
in there.

I am in the process of adding C++11 oriented test cases as time permits.

Issues and pull requests are most welcome on github.
