I wrote a class renamer and used it to fix my pork pet-pieve #1: a class named string that isn’t std::string. This has been a low priority goal for as long as I’ve been using Elsa. It’s pretty cool to apply a tool to fix itself.

The renamer is a 3x simpler than the next simplest tool. I plan to extend it to also rename class members. Renaming is the most trivial use-case for rewriting code, I plan to post a tutorial on using  the renamer in the near future.
