[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
When using Visual Studio to refactor namespaces, the class where the namespace has been refactored loses any "this" operators in the class.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a C# class with some fields or properties.
2. Reference said fields or properties with this operator.
3. Right click namespace and refactor to a different namespace.
4. See that all this operators are removed.

In general, refactoring a namespace requires expansion and simplification of identifiers to ensure they bind correctly in the new context. This refactoring could be updated to ignore qualified names that start with this. or base., since these values are always going to retain their original meaning in the new context.

if possible more instruction would be great

@Cosifne @ryzngard I'm not sure where this refactoring performs its post-rename corrections. Can you point @adtyn to it? 🎉
