Description Jonathan Locke CLA 2008-03-22 16:14:02 EDT 
Would be slick if instead of saying:

   "Ambiguous return value: selected block contains more than one assignment to local variable"

a container class were inserted (with template editing for the name) containing a field for each local variable.  The container class would be the return value of the extracted method.
