RE: Refactoring wishlist

Danny,

For those of us not using Eclipse and Java, what do you have for: "already implemented refactorings", "things in Martin Fowler's book which are not yet implemented", "other".

Personally, I'd like "Replace PowerPoint slide by Application" - but I expect it's not on your list...

Awesome news! I like the idea that your students even learn about
refactoring.

I'd love to see a Remove Double Negative refactoring as double negatives are
so overused and so irritating.
