Refactoring -> Rename should rename fields/variables/parameters

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Often using DI we have things like

public MyClass(IFirstInterface firstInterface, ISecondInterface secondInterface)
{
_firstInterface = firstInterface;
_secondInterface = secondInterface;
}

Currently, if i rename IFirstInterface -> ISomethingElse it only renames the interface, not the fields, variables and parameters.

public MyClass(ISomethingElse firstInterface, ISecondInterface secondInterface)
{
_firstInterface = firstInterface;
_secondInterface = secondInterface;
}

Really it should go further and do the same as Resharper:

public MyClass(ISomethingElse somethingElse, ISecondInterface secondInterface)
{
_somethingElse= somethingElse;
_secondInterface = secondInterface;
}

Thank you for taking the time to provide your suggestion. We will do some preliminary checks to make sure we can proceed further. We’ll provide an update once the issue has been triaged by the product team.

I think I'll proto-type this out real fast. IF the design meeting says they don't like it we can close the PR

Related customer feedback copying here:

When renaming a class or interface, it would be nice to rename all variables that are of that type to match the class name

For example, when renaming MyClass to YourClass, this line

MyClass myClass = new MyClass();

becomes:

YourClass yourClass = new YourClass();

And that's everywhere in the solution
