So, I've been reading about the Smalltalk Refactoring Browser
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/brant/Refactory/RefactoringBrowser.html
and found myself repeatedly thinking. "Wow, that's cool, I want one of
these for Perl".

Now, it's probably possible to build one of these for perl, though I
have the feeling it'd have to be a debugger replacement with,
possibly, an ancillary B:: module, but it'd be a royal pain.

So, if Perl 6 could make it easier to write this kind of tool I can't
help but think it'd be a big win.

Hmm... I would do this as an RFC, but I'm not sure it really
qualifies. It's more a sort of "It'd be *really* good if it was easier
to write a Refactoring Browser in/for Perl 6"
