Example

Visistor:

Identifier(path) {

}

In:

var foo = "test";

Out:

var _foo = "test";

rename(oldName: string, newName?: string, block?: Object)

Rename the given name in the current scope.

}

In:

foo: {
}

getBindingIdentifier(name: string)

Returns the identifier matching the name.

getOwnBindingIdentifier(name: string)
