rename (util-linux 2.21.2)

[Mariusz WODZICKI]

I frequently use ``rename''. Today I discovered that the most current
version has a changed syntax:

Usage:
 rename [options] expression replacement file...

Options:
 -v, --verbose    explain what is being done
 -V, --version    output version information and exit
 -h, --help       display this help and exit

For years the syntax was:

rename from to file...

and for a reason.

Now, the new ``rename'' is unable to process lots of renaming
scenarios. Its usefulness is greatly diminished as a result. Can we
please revert to the previous syntax?
