Blows my mind that IDEs and environments are not better at this. This is something that computers are good at, pattern recognition and scanning the whole file. Of course the it wouldn't work every time, an could make ridiculous suggestions, but I would love the computer to suggest something every time there is an issue. Even if it is wrong 90% of the time, if those guesses don't slow down the programmer the time saved would be huge.

Java IDEs are better at this. JavaScript...well I saw NetBeans do it once and was amazed. Ruby...well it's impossible to do correctly as other posters have mentioned.
