Here is a piece of code demonstrating the stuff I've come up.

As a proof of concept, I converted the refactorings as services, and
added them in the basic Browser  (bypassing the RB).

So : install the RB (Refactory-md.26.mcz) in a latest 3.7 image (5816)
install Services.mcz
evaluate :

Refactoring registerServices

to register all refactorings as services

open the browser (with alt-b on the world, else you'll got
a real RB), or a hierarchy browser / message list browser

You should see the refactoring items in various menus :
class list,
message list,
and code pane

Since the menus are inherited from the browser, you shall see
them in the hierarchy/protocol  browsers.

And you shall see the Breakpoint support menu item which I have never 
used,
since it doesn't appear in the RB, that I may use now ;-) .

The code is located in the Services-Base
and Services-RB packages, If you want to look at it .
Note that as I am in a hurry, I didn't cleaned it thoroughly,
so there are unused stuff in it ... look at the classes Service,
ServiceCategory, Requestor and subclasses, and the Refactorings
in priority.

There are a few ill-defined services for refactorings, so
some of them might act weirdly (I didn't tested them all).

I'll post a cleaned-up version soon.

that was one of the goals ... you can try it if you want (wait for the 
clean version though)

yes, that's at the moments some hack around doesNotUnderstand and 
getting the name
of variables in blocks (getting names of the arguments of anonymous 
functions ... strange :-) )

By the way I join a few fixes to the rb, making it a tad more usable
(Markus will incorporate them soon)
