It's maybe premature to talk about this but DCD will probably 
support a new function that allows refactoring. I'm a bit forward 
with this feature and it's already in Coedit master:

First you can see that the semantic is used because "variable" 
renaming is done only one the global. Later the same append with 
a Foo "foo" renamed to "instance" inside a function itself named 
"foo" and whose name is not affected.
