Remarks

We use the word "rename" and not "move", because in the simplified case, there are no namespaces, and there is no "move" then.

This member or type is for use from COM. It is not meant to be used from .NET or Python. Refer to the corresponding .NET member or type instead, if you are developing in .NET or Python.
