Configure Javascript Defaults example

Monaco Editor Playground Code

Reproduction Steps
  1. In the code editor, put the cursor on next (line 5).
  2. Hit the F2 key to rename it and add a character for instance.
Actual (Problematic) Behavior

The rename is accepted but only partially (it's renamed in the model only).

Expected Behavior

The rename should be blocked (i.e. a no-op) like for the standard libs.

The issue points to the Configure Javascript Defaults example in the Monaco Editor Playground; start there and inspect rename behavior for symbols from JavaScript extra libs. Done means F2 rename is a no-op for those symbols, matching standard-library behavior.
