Why does renaming files, a quite uncomplicated operation, have to be the last 
resort?

I didn't mention grepping (scanning files can be done in multiple ways), but 
why would I or anyone else need to perform such contortions every time to 
compensate for a problem that is so easily solved once and for all by simply 
giving the files better names?

You are making a mountain out of a molehill. It's not going to be a problem; 
this is not CVS. Let's not invent difficulties.
Nowadays, the bar for renaming files is much lower, and there is no reason 
whatsoever to shy away from it because of bad experiences in the past with 
other version control systems.
