Changed Rename() to ProcessRenameRequests(). ...

Got rid of the whole name/ext/all target paradigm, thereby eliminating -a, -b, -e, and -L options.

Simplified test mode reporting to only show top level renames and not any consequence backups or skips. ...

Implemented live file renaming.

Moved checks for existing targets from Rename() to RenameIt(). ...

Made check for existing target recursive so existing backups would get backed up.
Implemented min/max new filename length enforcement.
Restructured Rename() so it didn't have to iterate twice over the work queue.

Began restructuring Rename() and added a new supporting RenameIt() method.

Added -P option to allow user to specify their own escape character.

Cleaned up and added more forced renaming logic. ...

Changed -l to -L.
Added framework for -P, to change the default escape string.
Added check to disallow an null string as an argument to -L, -P, -R, and -S.

More cosmetic cleanup.

Changed -v so it dumps and *continues* - this allows its output to be included in a rename output log.

Minor cosmetic cleanup.

Added logic for dumping test output. ...

Added InfoMsg().
Began implementing logic for forced renaming of existing targets.
Added -S option to override forced renaming suffix.

Modified ErrorMsg to accept and optional EXIT argument. This gets rid of most of the sys.exit(1)s that littered the code. ...

Added length constraint checks to newly calculated file/dir names.

Rewrote ProcessIncludes() to properly detect all legal forms of the include option on the command line.

Cleaned up renaming logic to handle old and new stings that contain spaces. ...

Fixed problem with debug option not being properly detected in all cases.

Added EXTDELIM, MAXLINELEN, & RENSEP to the ProgramOptions table (like the other options), and adjusted code thoughout to reflect this.

Restructured RenRequests to be a single dictionary that now lives in the RenameTargets class. ...

The old and new strings now appear in the RenRequests dictionary with keys "OLD" and "NEW" respectively.
Defined symbolic constants for accessing state and old, new strings rather than embedding literal strings all over the code.

Changed TGTSEQFLG to a null string so it doesn't show up in debug output.

More cleanup of debug output for command line and environment info.

Repackaged program options into the ProgramOptions dictionary instead of being separate global variables. ...

Cleaned up dump output and integrated the work previously done in DumpRenameObj() into the constructor of the object itself.
