I need to rename a variable to a dict. See attached file. Why is the dict an invalid identifier? Actually, when I type the first "[" PC reports it is an invalid identifier.

A Rename refactoring renames a variable to another variable; it cannot change the type of an entity. In your case, the result of a rename is no longer a variable reference.

We don't currently plan to make the Rename refactoring do something other than rename.
