Here's a good defintion of 'refactoring':

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refactor

In my opinion, the long description for this package isn't too bad.  I
don't much like the "all users of them" phrase, but besides that the
description is pretty accurate.  It describes most of the actions one
would want to be able to take when refactoring source code.
