You have hit my main gripe with the RB - it has no regard for formatting.  I 
freely use it for things that do not require rewriting code (e.g. the up/down 
refactorings), and sometimes for new code that has not had time to accumulate 
useful comments.  If the code has been around for a while, then I usually 
prefer to do the work manually than to see my configuration management queues 
scattered to the four corners of video RAM.

I would greatly enjoy seeing this fixed, but given the attitude of the xp crowd 
toward comments, I am not optimistic.

My experience porting lots of old code to Pharo has only strengthened my belief 
that well-placed comments are a very valuable aid.  One package contained three 
logic errors that should have bitten me years ago, but never did.

Subject: [Pharo-project] Is there a way to use rename refactor while preserving 
whitespace formatting in refactored methods?

Hi, I am using Pharo with the default browser, which is the OmniBrowser. When I 
right-click on a message name in the right-most panel and choose "rename 
refactor" from the menu, enter the new name and accept, the message sends are 
renamed, but the whitespace formatting in those refactored methods is not 
preserved. Is there any way at present to do this while keeping the formatting 
intact?
