Preserve name of original function in worker name

Currently it's not uncommon to find workers named, e.g., $wa while perusing Core. When you find one of these you need to then go searching for its associated wrapper to discover which function the worker implements. Then you need to work hard to keep this piece of information in your mental state. This is unfortunate and makes reading Core unnecessarily hard.

Why not name the worker of thisIsAFunction something like, e.g., thisIsAFunction$wa?
