I want refactoring to be as simple as

I'm not sure but I don't think that is enough. In Clang you do
something like this:
1. Get cursor of source location
2. Get a unique global ID of the cursor the corresponds to the
symbol (unified symbol resolution)
3. Walk the AST to find all matches of this ID
4. Get the source location of the cursors which match
5. Rename the symbol at the source location
Convenience interface on top of low-level core functionality can
be provided and would suffice for many typical situations.
