Really?  It looks pretty broken to me still:

regression=# create function foo() returns int as $$
regression$# declare
regression$#   x int := 1;
regression$#   rename x to y;
regression$# begin
regression$#   return y;
regression$# end;$$ language plpgsql;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "x"
LINE 4:   rename x to y;
                 ^
