    As well as fixing the immediate problem (Trac #1972) this patch does
    a signficant simplification and refactoring of pattern renaming.
    
    Fewer functions, fewer parameters passed....it's all good.  But it
    took much longer than I expected to figure out.
    
    The most significant change is that the NameMaker type does *binding*
    as well as *making* and, in the matchNameMaker case, checks for unused
    bindings as well.  This is much tider.
    
    (No need to merge to the 6.8 branch, but no harm either.)
