#1187 Renaming variables changes strings as well

[---]

Short example code:

def test(self, str):
txt = "str"
return str

Right-clicking on str variable on the first line -> refactor -> rename changes also the second line to txt = "newvar".

I would like to extend the example:

@decorate(name="name")
def func():
name = "name"
print(name)

Renaming the 'name' variable inside func() to 'name2' would result in the following code:

@decorate(name2="name2")
def func():
name2 = "name2"
print(name2)

This is sometimes what you want, though:

def func(newval):
if newval >= 10:
raise ValueError("newval must be less than 10")

In your example you use the variable being refactored whereas in the original it's part of string literal which is different type of entity.
