With this example you don't want to replace just only some simple strings. 
The changes should be semantic correct, maybe this function exists with the 
same name in different namespaces.... Some IDE's call this features 
"refactoring" for instance "AnyJ".

Simple string replacement shouldn't be to hard to implement. Just parse all 
files (maybe with filters?) and changed it. But don't forget the current 
opened files in the editor. :-)
