Yep, however what makes difference is the sharing in between compilation units
(so sameheaders gets assigned same locations) rather than sharing within the unit
(by my experiments). The separate streaming+sorting will only help sharing
within the unit.
Perhaps something rather simplelike keeping previous stream and merging them will
work, too, not sure if better than the simple cache hash though.
Or perhaps we can somehow track per-source-file location spaces. Don't know.
