Hello, John, thanks for you reply!

The renaming is just a way that popped out in the conversation as a way to 
achieve a goal. The goal is to control the way a variable is REPRESENTED. I 
don't want to rename the thing. I certainly don't want to pervert the thing or 
harm it in any way. :)

Let me give you a C++ example, since Python would take me a half hour :)

class SageObject {
  string  m_name;
  string  m_latex_repr;

public:
  void rename( string new_name ); // we all know this and don't want to pervert 
it
  void changeRepr( string new_repr ); // does this method exist? 
};
