Base new top-level names on the binder the code originated from (if any)
Generated top-level names currently starts with a followed by some unique string. It would be nice if it the new name was based on the binder the code originated from, making the Core easier to read.
In ticket #3693 (closed) batterseapower made such a change in an unrelated patch. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/3693/StackTraces.dpatch
If someone has a good suggestion for naming I could try to implement this. How about changing <a>_<unique string> to <originating binder>_<unique string>?
