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.
