--- Comment #1 from Olivier.jg <olivier jg gmail com>  2010-10-31 02:37:48 ---
Yes, there are two different assistants at play here. One is the rename
assistant, that will rename any declaration's uses. The other is the signature
assistant, that will offer to update the other side of a function
definition/declaration.

The reason that renaming in the definition doesn't rename in the declaration is
because variable names in the declaration are unfortunately little better than
comments, which could be nonexistant, or just completely different (they aren't
strictly related).

Two things need to happen:
1. The signature assistant needs to be shown after the rename assistant
(getting around to this)
2. The variables used in the function definition need to be renamed when you
update it with the signature assistant.

#2 Is much trickier, since the signature assistant currently doesn't have a
foolproof mapping of old param -> new param, just heuristics.

Fixing this properly means updating the assistant UI, and making the signature
assistant much smarter.
