Hi,

The new function is similar to "rename-file", but it automatically opens
the file once it's renamed (or throws a relevant error).

I'm not sure if this addition is necessary, but I've had it for so many
years that I thought it might be useful to have it in Emacs by
default. I'm also not sure if it's in the correct position within
lisp/files.el. In any case, I'm submitting this patch for consideration.

I think we have "C-x C-w" for those scenarios.  It works the other way
around: first you visit the file under the original name, then change
its name when you save it.

That is indeed better than my function. Thanks!

No further comments within 12 days, so I conclude this issue can be
closed now.
