That's mostly a tools/ecosystem problem, but perhaps the language 
design could help a little to perform the refactoring. How can a 
language help refactoring?

This is a known problem, it can be solved, people are working on 
it, and I think eventually it will be partially solved.

I think this is mostly a library problem.
