I've often wanted something that would help globally change 
things like function and method names including across multiple
files.  Even variable names in large functions (ideally functions
should be small enough that this is not a problem but sometime
shit happens).  I am not great at picking good names to begin
with and often code drift makes them even worse with time.
Editor search and replace doesn't cut it. 

Other things like finding all uses of various objects/functions
etc would also be useful now and then but I suppose that is a 
common IDE capability?
