Okay, so, after I do the first 2 points, I end up in a buffer with the 
following content

I am not sure what to do next, because I guess this buffer supposed to 
have changed function names? I also tried first marking files in vc-dir 
with "m" key, and then doing the 2nd point, to no avail.

Yeah. It would be very useful, because had you not write that this 
could be automated, I'd never guessed. And even now that you wrote 
about it, I still don't understand how to make it work. I guess I'm not 
an unique contributor in such position.

But I think possibility of such change may be better to discuss in a 
separate thread.
