I'd like to see a new group of refactorings that can be invoked from  
the debugger. For example: ExtractMethod. When invoked from the  
debugger it would extract the method just like the RB does, then  
"split" the existing activation context into two and hook them up to  
the new methods. Or the reverse - InlineMethod would merge the two  
activation contexts.

Also, in the debugger you have perfect knowledge of the types  
involved, so you don't have to do any of this "You're smarter than  
the RB type inferencer" stuff.
