....although this will allow implementing nice refactoring methods, we 
are still far from a Ruyb refactoring tool. IMHO a refactoring tool only 
makes sense in an IDE. Therefore "WE" need to
a) agree on a platform independent GUI-framework (FX,...)
b) build a userfriendly IDE
c) add the follwing features to the IDE:
   - code-browser
   - debugger
   - refactoring

Have we got a) done?
