Demo: name choice stinks #88

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

This is a rather broad problem but, for the demo, we might be able to get away 
with a dirty hack.

I don't think I need to explain what the problem is.

One guess of a solution is to stare at Elim w/ motive, it might be dropping 
names like crazy.

We've made huge progress with this in 2 patches: 

1) Adding more name info to (I)Desc

2) Evidences: the Epigram 1 alpha hack  

Neither of which does anything to EWAM - which was doing the right thing; we 
just weren't giving it useful names to work with - this is fixed by patch 1. 
Patch 2 is a simple heuristic for alpha converting when a bound variable is 
instantiated. 

There's probably a lot more we can do, but for the purposes of the demo I think 
we're OK - so I'll close this issue.
