    Dictionaries are now named as follows:
    
      $d<class><tycon><n>
    
    where "n" is a positive int, "tycon" is the name of the tyvar/tycon
    of the first argument to the "class" that the dict represent an
    instance of.
    
    The change should improve the behaviour of the recompilation
    checker, preventing the recompilation of all the dependents
    of a module whenever a data type of instance is added to it.
    (The common behaviour should be no recompilations, but there
    are cases where the naming scheme fails to prevent a recompile.)
