Feature suggestion, unless it is already here

[Lists]

I caught this on a thread in reddit I think.  Watch the animated image:
http://code-and-hacks.blogspot.com/2009/06/stealing-from-padre-for-vim.html

Something like this would be very cool.  I know I can do it with find  
and replace, but having a command that was aware of the scope you are  
in, and only altering the variables you want within that scope, and  
narrowed to that specific variable would be super nice.

Not something I would use all the time, but I have a habit of slamming  
out some pretty off the top of my head code.  To be able to go back,  
and give nice logical well thought names, and have those changes not  
break my code, would be a great addition.

Anyone cone close to this in TextMate today?

This could be implemented in a bundle by leveraging existing external
refactoring tools/libraries (e.g.
http://bicyclerepair.sourceforge.net/ for Python).
I don't think it's appropriate as a core feature, but it is a good
suggestion for a new bundle.

Cheers,
Chris
