RB walkback

Blair,

Begin to add a parameter to a method, and cancel at the prompter for the
name:  =:0   If understand the refactoring correctly, it would be nice to be
able to edit the parameter name in the original dialog, and it would
_really_ be slick to able to add multiple parameters at one time.

Have a good one,

Bill

Correction - it's the prompter for the default value.

Have good one,

Bill

Thanks Bill, #844.

It would, but unfortunately I have had to disable the ability to rename the
parameters in the generic method name dialog because there is a bug in the
refactoring engine such that in some cases it can't handle the renaming of
the arguments at the time of the refactoring. This is #409, and once that is
addressed I think this could be accommodated quite easily. I'm sure I don't
need to describe the workaround.

Indeed, but I think that would benefit from a custom dialog that allowed one
to supply the default values rather than having multiple subsequent prompts,
so I'm going to defer that for the flight to Smalltalk Solutions :-).
