Great! I'll leave this to you then.

I use 2.5. 2.3 and 2.4 both fail the test suite, bailing out with SyntaxErrors in various places.

I think that if it becomes a requirement it shouldn't be too hard to make the refactoring tool work with older versions though, up to 2.2. but we should determine need first.
