That reminds me of an idea, a feature I would like. And that would solve 
this too.

It would be cool if one could with a single copy (or cut; as in 
copy/paste) copy a method (or procedure/function) declaration, including 
the implementation.
Or even several methods, if one selects several lines in the interface.

This would/should allow to:
- copy/cut paste a method from one place in a class to another place in 
the same class (adjusting order of implementation too)
- copy/cut paste a method from one class to any other class (adjusting 
the classname in the "procedure FOOCLASS.metho" line)
   This one would hugely add to the ability of refactoring, moving 
things up/down in the class hierachy, or even to rlated classes
- copy/cut paste a plain procedure into a class, making it a method
- copy/cut paste a method to become a plain procedure. So this one still 
requires some clean up, for any reference to self
