Rename Type should return a warning when the refactoring will change the 
current behavior. 
Steps to reproduce: Rename Type A to B in the following:
class A{
	   static int length = 17;
	   int m(int[] B){
	     return A.length;
	   }
}

yields the following refactored class:
class B{
	   static int length = 17;
	   int m(int[] B){
	     return B.length;
	   }
}

Note: The same problem occurs when B is a field, a local variable or a 
parameter of Class A or a Class that makes reference to A.length. In addition, 
B can be declared in an interface or class like in the following 2 cases:
- Rename A to B, where field B is declared in interface I
public class A{
	public static int length(){ return 0;};
}
interface I{
	String B= "fred";
}
class FF implements I{
	int m(){
		return A.length();
	}
}

- Rename A to B where field B is declared in class F
public class A{
	public static int length(){ return 0;};
}
class F{
	String B;
}
class FF extends F{
	int m(){
		return A.length();
	}
}

Reproducible only for types. Field and local variable rename is correct.

Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
