How is the term 'refactoring' used?by ggg (Scribe) |

ggg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I kept seeing monks talk about refactoring old code and in context it seemed thay were talking about rewriting old code. I wondered why the fancy word, so I did a search. It does mean rewriting code, but in tiny, very testable increments. OK, I sez to my self, that's a little fancier that just a rewrite.
Now I find myself wondering whether the term 'refactoring' has slipped into a more general usage meaning something less that the original meaning used by Stephen?
