Sometimes when using extract method we already have an almost identical version of the code for the same function somewhere else in the current source file
Simple example:
if (!resource.isReleased() ) { resource.release(); }
At some point you might want to put this into a method:
void releaseResources()
But at that point you already have those 3 lines of code in multiple places of your file.
It would be nice if VAX would provide a list of "similar" places in your code that can match this procedure and suggest to replace them as well.
Correctness might be a theoretical concept but incorrectness has practical implications.

We are considering having Extract Method search for other instances of the extracted code in the current function, so scanning the whole file is a logical extension:
Extract method replacing duplicated code?
