Unstable compiler output

Test cases to show ways that a given Scala source file can produce inconsistent classfile depending on the order of source files.

Lambda lift

Type completion can change order of typechecking methods in a class, resulting in Symbol.ids. Lambda lift places symbols-to-be-renamed in a tree set, ordered by Symbol.isLess (which for term symbols amounts to ordering by Symbol.id).

Macro Fresh Names

Macro fresh names for a given prefix are globally numbered, rather than using a per-compilation unit counter. This is a symptomatic fix for hygiene problems described in scala/bug#6879.

Partial Function fresh names

When the typer adapts a { case ... => ; ...} to FunctionN or PartialFunction, it creates fresh names for synthetic parameters. Out-of-order typechecking via type completion will change the numbering.

In general, any fresh name allocated during typer has the same problem, such as:

during eta expansion
names/defaults (also in)
converting qual._= to an assignment, which creates a fresh name in evalOnceAll and evalOnce.
Naming a local val in synthetic equals method
Naming GADT skolems, which I believe can end up in inferred types of APIs stored in the pickle.

Test Case (for the PartialFunction case only)

Quasiquote / Reify macros

These macros use currentFreshNameCreator, which routes to unit.fresh in the compiler universe, and consequently shares the issues with typer fresh names being unstable in the face of out-of-order type checking.
