I can’t take the credit for this idea...I'd like it were mine but not :(
It was suggested by Stephane Ducasse to Hernan Wilkinson, who leads me on 
this research at my university. Thanks Stephane...

Good idea, yes. You should evaluate the Refactoring Browser  (Refactoring 
Engine). I just hacked it a little so that Tratis are  treated like classes. 
This
is for sure not what is needed... it should be extended to know about  
Traits and then we need support for "refactoring towards" traits.

Should be a nice topic.
