Allow a node to be renamed #35

This PR will allow you to #rename a node in place. I took a shot at setting up the documentation but it probably needs to be cleaned up. Feel free to let me know if you would like any changes made so that you are happy merging it.

Do note that I made the name attribute read/write as opposed to read. I had to make it writable and add the rename method because updating a node's name also involves updating information on the parent node if it has one. So I added the rename_child method on the parent that will update it's children hash as well as call #name on the child. By separating out the setting of the instance variable and the logic of communicating with the parent, we avoid a stack overflow as a parent updates the name of the child node which then tries to update the children_hash key on the parent, and so on and so on.

Thanks!

@packetmonkey, thanks for the patch. I have merged your changes and made a few modifications. You might want to do a pull. The main change I did was to revert name back to a read-only attribute, as otherwise a writable name attribute might cause confusion downstream (since the attribute writer does not really do any checks). Let me know that you think.

It all looks good to me. I have some code using this functionality so I'll use your master instead of my branch and report any problems I stumble across.

The only other thing I noted is I never updated the API-CHANGES.rdoc file with mention of the #rename or #rename_child methods (I also didn't add anything for the #replace! and #replace_with methods from PR #28 ) I added. Should we add references to those there or is that file mostly for breaking changes?

Thanks again

Thanks!

You are correct. The API-CHANGES.rdoc file is really for any breaking changes. So no worries. I usually update History.rdoc with any new API updates (and any other changelog like commentary).
