      public class Renamer
      extends Mutation

  A mutation for renaming a class or field without changing the instance or field value. For example:

        package my.package;

        // The old class.  Version 0 is implied.
        //
        @Entity
        class Person {
            String name;
        }

        // The new class.  A new version number must be assigned.
        //
        @Entity(version=1)
        class Human {
            String fullName;
        }

        // Add the mutations.
        //
        Mutations mutations = new Mutations();

        mutations.addRenamer(new Renamer("my.package.Person", 0,
                                         Human.class.getName()));

        mutations.addRenamer(new Renamer("my.package.Person", 0,
                                         "name", "fullName"));

        // Configure the mutations as described here.
