Disable Refactor -> Rename until the feature is implemented

[Former user]

I attempted to use the refactor-> rename tool and while the editor didn't crash or present an error, it never renamed the variable.

Here are the logs from the file. Helluva stack trace. Not sure if this is a bug, or an enhancement request.

Technically it's both an enhancement request and a bug. I don't support rename refactoring right now which makes it the former, but if I don't support it, I need to disable this as an option so you don't get into this state. I'll take a look at disabling for the short-term until I can implement the enhancement. It's one of those that I absolutely want as well, and much of the groundwork is there already just by virtue of the way that references work (navigation, find usages, etc.), but that last bit to complete it is actually a non-trivial amount of work. Thanks for the bug report!

[Scott Wells]

Changing the issue summary to distinguish it from #21 which would enable the full rename refactoring feature.

[Scott Wells]

I'm adding a rename veto condition in 1.7.4.1 that will prevent users from trying to rename non-file elements until I add a first-class rename refactoring to IC.

Rename veto handler delivered in 1.7.4.1.
