Re: Wish list: RPG code refactoring

I really like the Extract function refactoring. I'm doing a lot of that now
(transitioning legacy 5250 code to callable routines), and that would be a
major enhancement IMO.

capabilities.

I definitely agree that this would be useful. But, I don't think most
people in our community (at least, RPGers) understand what refactoring
means -- or really, what you're asking for, Buck.

I think if you want to drum up votes, you should explain what you're
looking for. ("the ability to rename variables, procedures, etc at a
click of a button") etc.

Explain it well, and I think you could get a lot of votes.

idea.
