Renaming doesn't accept dots in identifier #217

In most other programming languages, . cannot appear in an identifier. In R it can. Therefore the Rename dialog needs to be customized for R.

That will be hard to fix, since we would need to interfere with the default rename refactoring which does not allow for dots.
