#' Rename columns
#'
#' `rename()` changes the names of individual variables using `new_name = old_name` syntax.
#' `rename_with()` renames columns using a function.
#'
#' @param .data A `data.frame`
#' @param ...
#'   For `rename()`: comma separated key-value pairs in the form of `new_name = old_name` to rename selected variables.
#'
#'   For `rename_with()`: additional arguments passed onto `.fn`.
#'
#' @return
#' A `data.frame` with the following properties:
#'
#' * Rows are not affected.
#' * Column names are changed; column order is preserved.
#' * `data.frame` attributes are preserved.
#' * Groups are updated to reflect new names.

#' @examples
#' rename(mtcars, MilesPerGallon = mpg)
#' rename(mtcars, Cylinders = cyl, Gears = gear)
#' mtcars %>% rename(MilesPerGallon = mpg)

#' @param .fn A `function()` used to transform the selected `.cols`. Should return a character vector the same length as
#' the input.
#' @param .cols Columns to rename; defaults to all columns.
