>Frankly, I have no idea, because your **entire proposal** is predicated on some sort of automated tool for renaming variables. Without knowing the details of that tool, how can I tell you how this would work? But if that tool can be taught that nameof indicates a variable name, then it can rename inside it just like it would rename anything else. Your problem here is a limitation of the variable renaming tool. I'm suggesting a solution to that problem. This is not a language problem, it's an editor problem, so it needs an editor solution.
