I think I cam answer this, The idea was a simple one step process to 
copy & rename  a sheet.  The sheets are copied to a name with the 
current sheet name + _# .  In some instances this is no problem in 
others the user has to manually rename the sheet.  I know it is only a 
couple of click but every movement of the mouse or keyboard counts.  My 
idea was to simply allow the user to rename the sheet at the same time 
as the copy to save some time.

When I brought the idea up I was ask to add it to the easy hacks page. 
The devs here took the idea and seem to have made it work.  As a user I 
appreciate when a programmer thinks an idea is worth their time and look 
forward to seeing it in action.
