Fine with me. I'm currently quite busy with my thesis, so my input will be 
minimal for the next week or so. However, I'll think about a simple QT 
interface.

About the scope: I assume you refer to another variable with the same name 
being defined in a subscope. This could be dealt with by
- detecting such a variable;
- renaming that "inner variable" to some silly name;
- renaming the outer variable;
- restoring the original name for the inner variable.

(However, even if we don't deal with this case, it won't break the 
program.)

The only thing we need to be careful about is the outer variable appearing 
in the initializer of the inner variable. I still have to check carefully 
if that is correct code. I mean something like this:
{
  double x = 3.14;
  {
    int x = std::floor(x);
  }
}

In this case, the argument to floor is really the outer variable.

Cheers,
Sven.
