Probably.  I haven't played with any of the existing tools for code  
browsing or completion or anything.  I think the code browser with  
ctags support might be a good start...  I wouldn't even know where to  
start with this kind of thing, really...

That should be a pretty simple macro...  Organization of imports  
would be great, too, but probably requires some kind of "codesense"  
help.

That would certainly be handy.  I think TM currently caches filenames  
a little too aggressively for this kind of thing to work well without  
switching away and back, however.  For renaming files, anyway.

Woo hoo! :-)
