Bug #5508 Views:RENAME doesn't work with views

Description:
RENAME should work with views, the same way that it works with base tables. 
Alternatively, non-standard statements that don't work for all table types (TRUNCATE, 
RENAME, etc.) should not be supported by MySQL. 
 

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t (s1 int); 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.28 sec) 
 
mysql> create view v as select * from t; 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 
 
mysql> rename table t to t2; 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 
 
mysql> rename table v to v2; 
ERROR 1017 (HY000): Can't find file: './db5/v.frm' (errno: 22)

verified with 5.0.12

Pushed into 5.0.14

Noted in 5.0.14 changelog.

Just installed v5.0.15... Tested with
  CREATE TABLE t (value INT);
  CREATE VIEW  v AS SELECT value FROM t;
  ALTER VIEW v RENAME v2;  <-- Generates an Error starting at 'RENAME'

Could you please fill a new bugreport (with ALTER TABLE, because a view is a table, and we do not want invent new command in this case). If you do not make bugreport I will. But if you make it you will be able to track progress of bugfixing.

I've made BUG#14959
