That goes to my point, rails doesn't have the symbols in code for the editor to use to refactor because they are added at runtime dynamically when ActiveRecord reflects the database. You can have a full model that just has `class User < ActiveRecord::Base; end` that has 15 fields on it, none of which are in the code.
