Haxe rename

a work-in-progress renaming tool for Haxe code.

CAUTION: Make sure you have backups before performing any rename operations!

Note: renaming uses static code analysis to figure out what places to change in a rename operation. if you make heavy use of type inference you might end up with compile errors.

dry run

node bin/rename.js -s src -s test -l src/refactor/Refactor.hx@108 -n Rename

test/refactor/TestBase.hx
* replace text with "refactor.Rename" @48-65
--- import refactor.Refactor;
+++ import refactor.Rename;
* replace text with "Rename" @993-1001
---             var result:RefactorResult = Refactor.refactor({
+++             var result:RefactorResult = Rename.refactor({
src/refactor/Refactor.hx
* rename to "src/refactor/Rename.hx"

src/refactor/Cli.hx
* replace text with "Rename" @2743-2751
---             var result:RefactorResult = Refactor.refactor({
