Yes but both require knowledge about the language that in theory would
need a full tool chain support.
Really? Note that for some languages we already have context-
sensitive help and suggestions for completion (I don't use them and
even forget what they're called, but I know we have it for elisp at
least). I think that a feature that approximates intellisense can be
implemented with only local knowledge of the buffer, while refactoring
by definition requires global knowledge of the program, including some
understanding of semantics as well as syntax, which is rather
different (and harder).

Upgrading CEDET is on my todo-list but I'm addressing things I think
are easier to complete first.
Indeed. Have you been following the CEDET controversy on emacs-devel?
