Description
Other code editors let you rename variables without Ctrl+F'ing through the document to find all instances of the variable name. Additionally, it only renames those variable names that match the scope of the original variable name, ignoring variable names that are defined locally (i.e. in lambdas or interior definitions).

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating DrRacket's editor rename or refactoring behavior and determine how identifier scope is represented. Done means a rename updates matching references while leaving locally defined identifiers in nested scopes unchanged, with coverage for both variables and functions.
