Quoting Thomas Köhler (jean-luc@picard.franken.de):

Well, this just works for a special case - "extensions".
It won't work if "THIS" is somehere *within* the filenames.

	$ ls
	lahDIdah	DIagnose	LadyDI
	$ rename * DI=di
	$ ls
	lahdidah	diagnose	Ladydi

Well, that "rename" looks much more powerful to me.  :-)
