I am not aware of such code. RBRefactoryTyper is part of the
refactoring engine since I first looked at it around ESUG 2002. It is
relatively hidden, and only used by a few refactorings to provide
better default suggestions (i.e. extract to component). It is also
used in OB to provide a better default class comment template. And in
ECompletion for better suggestions since RoelTyper is not useable
anymore.

Never heard of that code.
