Hi Damián,

Welcome to the Cuis Community!

I think such refactoring might have a place at 
https://github.com/hernanwilkinson/Cuis-Smalltalk-Refactoring. On how to 
implement it, there are other refactorings, both in the Cuis base image 
and in https://github.com/hernanwilkinson/Cuis-Smalltalk-Refactoring 
that should give clues.

Good luck!

Cheers,
