Description
Consider the following:
class DefaultParams {
String value
DefaultParams(String value = '') {
this.value = value
}
/*@Generated
DefaultParams() {
this((String)'')
}*/
}
Rename "DefaultParams" to anything else and there is a refactoring error due to overlapping edits for generated constructors. The generated constructor(s) for default arguments share the name range of the original for searching purposes.

Research direction
Start with the Groovy class in the issue body and reproduce the rename refactoring with its default-argument constructor. Trace how generated constructors are included in rename edits; done means renaming the class no longer fails with overlapping edits.
