Rename functions and target objects without reprocessing?

[dbarneche]

Hi Rich,

I was wondering how easy it would be to add a function that allows one to rewrite the remake database (and remake.yml) by substituting the name of a function or the target object it produces without having remake::make() recreate it from scratch.

Thanks!

@dbarneche it seems like a good idea with a very difficult and error-prone solution. Remake would need to propagate the name changes to all the downstream commands without putting their targets out of date.
