Epicea vs RB refactorings

Hi,

I'm under the impression that Epicea is supposed to replace RB refactorings at some point.

If that is true, is it currently possible to build refactorings by hand?

For example in RB I often do:

```
model := RBNamespace new.

model defineClass: ('<1s> subclass: #<2s><n><t>instanceVariableNames: <3p><n><t>classVariableNames: ''''<n><t>poolDictionaries: ''''<n><t>category: <4p>' expandMacrosWith: 'Object' with: 'MySomething' with: 'var1 var2' with: 'MyPackage').
cls := model classNamed: #MySomething.
cls compile: 'var1
        ^ var1' classified: 'accessing'.

(ChangesBrowser changes: model changes changes) open
```

or

(removing a method from a class)
```
model := RBNamespace new.
model removeMethod: #testTrimRight from: StringTest.
(ChangesBrowser changes: model changes changes) open

I think it was never the goal and not supposed to happen. Epicea is only changes logger. Maybe Martin will correct me.

I use directly RBRefactoring subclasses:

ref := RBRemoveMethodRefactoring removeMethods: #(testTrimRight) from: StringTest.

ref execute."perform complete changes without preview"

ref primitiveExecute. "for preview"

(ChangesBrowser changes: {ref}) open.
