It is easy to change all references of the function name, except for
those in the function body itself? That needs some explantation.
I can answer this. If I have a recursive function, I may want to
create a similar function, so I copy and paste it, to later modify the
copied version. Then to change its name I usually don't use a search &
rename of its name into its block of code because it's usually
useless. In non-recursive functions the name of the function is stated
only once, at the top.
I'm sorry, but while I'm mildly positive towards the proposal (and more
so towards Aaron's decorator), I don't buy this argument at all. What
is broken about your editor's global search-and-replace function that
makes it "usually useless" for making these name changes?
