Description
If a replacement generates code that needs additional require statements to be added before it compiles, resyntax should be able to insert the needed imports. It should be possible to derive the necessary imports automatically by looking at the bindings of all of the identifiers in the syntax objects generated by a refactoring rule.

Research direction
Start by examining how replacement syntax objects are represented and how identifier bindings are exposed to refactoring rules. The work is done when generated code can automatically determine and insert the required require statements before compilation.
