What old file name? Which file is the "old file"?

What "current file"?
You can use `rename-file' from anywhere in Emacs. Yes, if you use it from a
file buffer or from Dired then a reasonable default value is provided. But
that's all it is: a default value.
We should treat this default value the same way we treat default values
generally (i.e., most default values).
