[Feature Suggestion]: Renaming a file should rename the containing class; renaming a folder should rename the namespace in all affected files

[just-ero]

Describe the feature you'd like

This is concerning the solution explorer view.

In Visual Studio, renaming any *.cs file can prompt the user, asking whether the contained class should also be renamed (as long as the names matched). The same thing happens with folders, which will prompt the user, asking whether the namespace should be renamed as well (given the namespaces matched the folder structure thus far). All files referencing this namespace will then be adjusted, including using directives in files not related to this hierarchy at all.

This feature would be nice to have in Visual Studio Code as well. Ideally, the prompts should go both ways: renaming a class or namespace should prompt the user, asking whether the file or folder should be renamed too.

Kicking off roslyn intentionally to let project drive this. We'd be happy to accommodate roslyn side changes needed to support this ask.

Chimming in to comment that I use the automatic file renaming a lot in VS and I miss it dearly in vscode, but I dont use (or like) the automatic folder / namespace renaming, so maybe we can make that an option? :)
