Oh, one more thing about this.

Requiring all names to be given in canonical form might alleviate some
of the problems I raised, since it would eliminate typedefs and using
declarations and directives from consideration.  We'd still have other
unsurmountable problems to deal with, but more importantly, you wouldn't
be able to use u64 any more, you'd have to resolve it to the type that
u64 is mapped to, at which point you'd be bringing back the very
variation across targets that this feature was designed to overcome.
