Research direction

Read README.md to confirm the wishlist entry, then inspect existing command implementations and use rename(1) as the behavioral reference. Implement the rename command with the stated option surface and exit statuses; done means its supported behavior matches rename(1).

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

rename - rename files

rename is on the wishlist in README.md and has no issue or open PR. I would like to take it.

I will follow rename(1) for the option surface and the exit statuses.
