RBConfigurableFormatter Redux

Thanks all for the answers. You gave me what I was looking for.

And btw, what I wish for for years now is a hook in the browser classes on accept.
As we do autoformat a method on accept, we have to insert overrides in the browser and debugger classes.
My proposal would be to provide hooks for tools on some stages during accept in the browser where you can hook in tools as a
formatter before accepting, after formatting, coloring after accpet, etc without the need to override system code.

Actually. I wish that the refactoring browser would do strategic text
replacement for simple refactorings (eg method rename, protect inst var,
etc..) and not reformat the method at all.

If it left the formatting undisturbed for the refactorings that don't modify
the structure of the source tree, I don't think I'd care so much about the
code formatter.

I think it does. I remember John Brant talking about doing it, and I think I've noticed it in practice.

Although I am very happy with the Refactoring Browser, I would be even
happier if this were the case :).  Perhaps a configuration switch to
suit everybody's personal preference?

Alan, you're right! I had no idea they fixed that. I guess I had sworn off
those refactorings a long time ago, and never tried them again.

Thanks for the heads up,
