[Bf-funboard] more usability features

[Nathan Vegdahl]

Yeah, seems like a nifty python script would be good for this.
If I recall correctly, 3ds Max has a bulk-renaming tool that let's you
use search-and-replace functionality to rename objects.
It would be cool to have a pythong script like that included with
Blender, supporting all kinds of namable data (objects, bones,
materials, texts, etc.).  And perhaps allowing regex too...

One thing that would be useful in such a script would be a live
display showing what would be renamed and how, so you can tell whats
going to happen prior to applying.  Dunno if that's feasible or not
via python in Blender, but it would probably save a lot of headaches.
