The one thing rope is good at is to find where a given variable name
is used, and rename all occurrences recursively. So basically, when
you rename an import, it renames all the code that uses it.

I don't really know how 2to3/3to2 work but I assumed that it does not
do this, but simply give you a hook for every visited node. IOW that
looking for dependencies is to be done
