It does renaming properly, using "local" and rebinding appropiately. 
Unfortunately it seems to use extended SML/NJ syntax to do this. A more 
sophisticated version could alpha rename the code directly assuming it has 
access to an SML parser and pretty-printer. In the end that might be what 
needs to get done to make this generate pure SML. Still, sounds like a 
"weekend hack". For a sufficently long defintion of weekend. :)
