Some small potential enhancements when renaming.

If we consider a field and any associated setters/getters as a group, it
might be useful if, when renaming one of them, IDEA offered to rename the
others as well (as an option).
For example, if you rename getLength(), IDEA might offer to rename
setLength() and the length field.
The parameter to the setter method might also be included in this group.
It might work by, whenever you choose to rename one of them, IDEA offers to
rename the corresponding field and its access as a whole, or allow the user
to select which ones.

When renaming a parameter/local variable, IDEA gives suggestions for the
name in a dropdown list.  It might be useful to offer shortened versions of
the current name, e.g. when I'm renaming a variable called maxLengthOut, it
might be useful to suggest lengthOut and out in the dropdown list.

When renaming a parameter in a setter method, it might be useful to offer
the name of the field in the dropdown list (and shortened version of it?).
