[plt-scheme] refactoring support in DrScheme

Hi,

The recent discussion of the IDE features in DrScheme in the saved window
configurations<http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2007-September/020778.html>and
"Projects"<http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2007-September/020806.html>threads
was good and got me thinking about and using the syntax checker and
the module browser.

Syntax checker offers a identifier rename facility.

Do any others exist? I am thinking of things like;

>    submethod out of the selected text. If there is already an equivalent
>    method, optionally invoke that instead.
>    - Inline method -- put the invoked code in place of the invocation.
>    This even works for methods in other classes.
>    - Move to component -- move the code for a method to another class
>    and invoke it

PS it is good to be reminded of simple but incredibly useful things like the
(define ...) button, Show Program Contour, and split.
