I think auto-renaming makes sence for only local variables, generally
for the cases where all instances fit into the screen.
Otherwise it may come as a nasty surprise to a user.

Anyway, the linked demo seems to be about a very particular case of
auto-renaming,
Notice that identifiers are different, though with the common structure.
An actual analogue for FPC/Lazarus would be an option to rename
'TMyClass' to 'TMyNewClass', while simulatneously updating variable names lile
'FMyClass', 'AMyClass', 'myClass'.
