Support / fix replacing reference (Refactor -> Rename) of F# operator #17221

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Now if I try to replace an operator with another one using rename in visual studio, I can't because no matter what I put in the box is saying 'new variable is invalid name'

Verified, operators seem to lead to an error in the rename box. I'll mark this as bug, though one could argue it is a feature improvement.

It also counts the references incorrectly (there are two in my source file) and it won't allow a "normal" ident either. If we don't (or can't) support this, perhaps the error could be changed to "renaming operators is not supported"?
