Description
Inside %%private(...) trying to rename a function's parameter, or even local variables, is not allowed.
I'm using the latest version of the extension: 1.8.1 (at the time of writing). It happens both in VSCode and Emacs (using lsp-rescript).

Research direction
Reproduce the rename failure for function parameters and local variables inside %%private(...) blocks in VSCode and Emacs using lsp-rescript. Start by tracing how the extension or language-server integration handles rename requests in that context; done means both reported rename cases work in the affected editors.
