Potentially, yes.

I'm working on it, but considering the scope of the change it's
unknown if it will be in 1.5, or if parts of it do make it in to 1.5
if it will be visible to the user or not. There are several stages to
the rename support, and the first few of them are very low level, not
the sort of thing that anyone other than a developer would notice.
It's only after those are in place that we can actually use them to
solve the more interesting problems.

It's impossible to say at the moment. We haven't even got 1.4 out the
door yet, so predicting when 1.5 will come out is just an exercise in
futility.
