The first big thing here is that class references in all code are fixed. 
This is possible by RenameClass, part of Hernán Refactoring 
implementation for Cuis.

Still, see that we are renaming _all_ classes. Until recently, it worked 
for many but could fail because:
- Class references in backticked code were not found. The fix was, for 
instance, to make references to Color include #blue, that only 
references the class in backticked code.
- DateAndTime >> #is: is used during the rename, when fixing methods. 
Its own use of #DateAndTime is different before / after being itself 
updated.
- 'ProtoObject' and #Array were hardcoded literals. Now the class is 
asked for #name.

After fixes to these issues, all classes in the system can be renamed.

Cheers,
