Renaming
Renaming of rules in ABNF grammars.
It is sometimes useful to systematically rename a rule in a grammar.
For example, the HTTP grammar specified in RFC 7230 includes a rule uri-host defined by a prose value notation
that references the rule host from the URI grammar specified in RFC 3968. Prior to plugging the URI grammar rules
into the HTTP grammar rules,
the rule host in the URI grammar rules
should be renamed to uri-host.
