Description Ilja Preuss CLA 2002-03-04 03:37:34 EST 
using "extract local variable" on String literals results in the error message

"The following problem prevents performing the operation. An expression must be 
selected to activate this refactoring."
Comment 1 Adam Kiezun CLA 2002-03-04 05:15:12 EST 
the error says now: 
"Currently no support to extract a single string literal."

this limitation might be removed for 2.0 - after converting to the new AST API
leaving open till then
