Hmm, interesting.  So one could imagine the interface to the
refactored/shout etc being integrated with text editing so that to rename a
temp var one simply selected ts it in the declaration within |'s and
overtypes it.  That would be nice.  But how general is the scheme?  Does it
work for selectors?  I doubt it.  And so it could just be a clever idea.
What Levente points out with Ctrl-J & Ctrl-G is much simpler primitives
that compose well are more generally useful.  They're more useful as a
combo than my ideas for a word-boundary respecting alternative.  I don't
want to poo poo any ideas though.  I'm just saying that I'm happy with
Levente's suggestion.
