In that case I think something like this might work:
Foo.renameSymbol("file.d:16:4", "bar");
Where "file.d" is the file in which the symbol is located.
":16:4" would be the row and column number. "bar" would be the
new name of the symbol.
Doesn't the D module system make symbols unique? I thought with
a set of open/relevant files (call it a project if you will) a
symbol name can be given without ambiguities. This might go
into bike shedding, but it looks like dropping one of D's
strengths here. It is of course still necessary to have code to
look up symbols under the cursor, no question.
I doubt specifying symbol it would be any better than location.
For example, you would not be able to rename a local variable or
any other symbol nested in a function.
