Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the rename symbol dialog and the symbol directory handling, then determine how $ should select a virtual address or relative offset for type members and how $$ escapes a literal $. Done when both forms are supported and their behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
