var splicer = multisplice(src)
var renames = {}
var nextName = 'a'.charCodeAt()
astw(src)(function (node) {
  if (node.type === 'Identifier') {
    if (!renames[node.name]) renames[node.name] = String.fromCharCode(nextName++)

    splicer.splice(node.start, node.end, renames[node.name])
  }
})

console.log(splicer.toString())

function a (b) {
  b *= c
  d.e(b)
}
var c = 10
a(17)
