The use case for a function like this is extremely rare. In most cases, I know what I'm looking for and what I want to rename it to, I'd just assign/modify it myself.

@cs95 I tend to work with large national or international surveys where variables will have coded variable names that begin with prefixes depending on answer options, likert scales, and branching (such as EDU_2913.443, EDU_2913.421,...). This function has been very useful for me in working with those types of sets, I understand if its not for you though :)
