Hmm, if I understood well, this is a basic search and replace. That would
mean that at no point the user would have a overview of all the occurrences,
right ? I think this could be useful as it allow the user to have an idea of
how much work will be needed, or to estimate the overall confidence rfta as
in the refactoring, or to do multiple exclusion at once.
