A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away :-), at one of the SIGAda
Future APSE workshops, Tucker Taft, Susan Dart (then at SEI) and I
formed a little group where we looked at "practical tools we wish we
had." Before we knew the term 'refactoring', we proposed a tool
that would facilitate the movement of types and operations across
packages. We called it the "hoister"...
Here's a scenario: Assume a layered architecture, and package P has
a private type with a hidden component C, which comes from package Q.
Now for whatever good reason, we realize that we need to make component
C and its type visible. So we'd like to "hoist" declarations from Q
and put them into P. We'd like a tool that would automagically adjust
calls to operations in P and Q. Some operations the tool could fix
itself, and others it would need to refer to the human engineer.
This is the kind of stuff that I think would be very valuable for
any programming language with an encapsulation mechanism, not just Ada.
