Research direction
Start by reproducing the rename from m() to valueOf in Visual Studio Code 1.88 with the Java extension 1.29 on JDK 17, using the static java.lang.String.valueOf import shown. Compare the program's behavior before and after the rename; done means the rename does not change which method the call resolves to.
