This sounds potentially exciting, especially with the two recent
posts, one from Richard and one from Eli, mentioning this work.  The
last post on emacs-devel that I can find about "symbol renaming"
before that is from May 2020, and AFAICT it was buried in a
sub-thread.

Perhaps this would be a good time for a new post that explains the
current status of this, with a quick re-cap and perhaps even some
code?  (If there exists a branch, I can't find it.)
