* Choose external names more predictably
Ignore-this: 17513bc93af646108f21bbed1c8f4a3a
Now, for a compiler-generated binding "x", if "x" is referred to by
the exported "f", then it will be named "f_x" rather than something
like "x23". This means that hopefully
- compilation will more often product the same results given the
same input (the choice of names is not dependent on the
non-deterministic order of bindings within the compiler).
- less recompilation will be necessary after making changes
- navigating Core might be a bit easier.
unfortunately, compilation with -O still does not consistently produce
the same ABI. The simplifier sometimes does different things,
apparently.
Names will be longer, but I can't see a way around that.
