    BBC BASIC had "renumber", which when executed changed all those "10,11,12,13" commands to "10,20,30,40", updating the gotos as it went along

    I KNOW the BASIC on Multics had that in 1973. I am not aware of a BASIC that didn't (I was writing BASIC and Fortran professionally on Multics in 1973).
