I recently worked on a Java project, and the ease of renaming classes and variables (via IDE) was really refreshing.<p>So, I wrote a somewhat-crude tool to make the experience of renaming things in Ruby (or other dynamic languages) a little bit nicer and more IDE-like.<p>The primary use case I had in mind was renaming a class, along with all of its associated "require" statements, all in one go. For a heavily-used class, this can be a little annoying.<p>You can find the source here:
