I have long wanted this for symbol names. When I'm in the zone, I want to write/edit very short names for all kinds of symbolic names. But I want this to be a view, and the underlying code to remain verbose names for later reading. I once set out to create a VSCode plugin for this, only to discover it was not possible to automate the Symbol Rename feature. You can do it with regex find/replace, but it would be much stronger if you could use the compiler to do it.
