Actually calling it "rename" is wrong. It's an "alias". If you're 
wondering what the difference is, try this: Define a trait which has two 
methods like

Trait named: #TSample

TSample>>foo
   ^self bar

TSample>>bar
   ^42

and then use it via, e.g.,

Object subclass: #TSampleTest
   uses: TSample @ {#mumble->#bar}

At this point, I'd expect either of two things to happen for a "rename": 
Preferredly, foo should call #mumble instead of #bar (since we renamed 
#bar in the trait) or alternatively the class should simply have two 
methods #foo and #bar.

What you get instead (and why it's not a "rename" but an "alias" 
instead) is three methods: #foo, #bar, and #mumble with #mumble being 
simply a copy of #bar. In other words, you have just created an alias 
for #bar under the name of #mumble.
