But once again, if you fix a bug by introducing a new name, then you never
introduce a new "bug", simply instances of illegalities that are trivially
fixable (you can even write a trivial tool to fix them if you really find
it that hard). So they are not "hard to find", since they generate clear
diagnostics, and they are not "hard to fix".
