emulate merlin-iedit-occurrences

[sanette]

Hi

AFAIU,

• when using ocaml-eglot-rename you have to type the new name in the minibuffer, contrary to merlin-iedit-occurrences ( CTRL-; ) where all the magic happens directly in the main buffer
• if you want to switch to the next occurence, you need to invoke ocaml-eglog-occurence which opens a new buffer, contrary to the merlin behaviour where you simply need to press TAB

both cases seem much easier and "modern" in the Merlin version; is there a plan to reach this ease of use?

Yes, the desired behaviour make a lot of sense!

I implemented a hack for something similar here: https://arvidj.cc/blog/posts/iedit-references/
I'm not quite sure it is the good way of going about it though, I actually didn't know about merlin-iedit-occurences when I wrote it.

That feature is the only one that was missing for me when switching for merlin. @arvidj implement does the trick nicely. It would be super nice to integrate it. :)
