Awesome!

A couple other things to try:

- C++11 brace initialization

    std::vector<std::string> s{"foo"s, "bar"s}, t{"foo"s}, u;
=>
    std::vector<std::string> s{"foo"s, "bar"s};
    std::vector<std::string> t{"foo"s};
    std::vector<std::string> u;

- function declarations

    void f(int), g(int, float);
=>
    void f(int);
    void g(int, float);

- pointers to functions

    void gg(int, float);
    void (*f)(int), (*g)(int, float) = gg;
=>
    void gg(int, float);
    void (*f)(int);
    void (*g)(int, float) = gg;

- pointers to member data

    struct S { int a; const int b; };
	int S::*p = &S::a, S::* const q = &S::a;
	const int S::*r = &S::b, S::*t;
=>
    struct S { int a; const int b; };
	int S::*p = &S::a;
	int S::* const q = &S::a;
	const int S::*r = &S::b;
	const int S::*t;

- pointers to member functions

    struct S { int f(); };
	int (S::*p)() = &S::f, (S::*q)();
=>
    struct S { int f(); };
	int (S::*p)() = &S::f;
	int (S::*q)();

I haven't looked at your implementation to specifically see if any of
these are a problem, but in my experience these more "exotic" types
are often a weak spot in refactoring tools.  clang tooling
infrastructure tends to do a little better here because it's a real
parser.
