Sometimes you need to rename a class, which involves renaming its file name as well. But then it involves updating all #include references to that file in all other source files.
This is something that right now you have to manually search/replace and is a bothersome routine.
In Eclipse you just apply refactoring on a class and it automatically does all this job for you.
It would be very nice to have this in VAX (optional in case some disagree with the convention).
Thanks!
Correctness might be a theoretical concept but incorrectness has practical implications.
We are considering this idea, but have no immediate plans to try and do this. One reason is possible problems with source control systems. If we automatically rename files you can use the file history, and trying to plug into and update any number of different source control systems is not going to happen :)
