* bug#24587: 24.5; `dired-do-rename-regexp' does not support `query-replace-regexp' TO syntax

The doc string of `dired-do-rename-regexp' says this, about the
replacement pattern:

  NEWNAME may contain \\=\\<n> or \\& as in `query-replace-regexp'.

It does not say that it also supports the other syntax constructs that
`query-replace-regexp' supports for the replacement pattern, so this is
not a bug report per se, but rather an enhancement request.

Please enable `dired-do-rename-regexp' to fully support the replacement
patterns that `query-replace-regexp' supports.

See this answer by Phil S. to an emacs.stackexchange question for an
example of what should be possible:
