That's certainly an option.  Maybe I've done that at times.  But in the cases I've encountered, it has usually seemed to be easiest just to do things manually (using the usual cut-and-paste functions).  Probably that's because the new argument list it proposes for the extracted method is just too far different from what I need, and changing it later doesn't seem worth the effort.
