/** A trait that manages names.
* A name is a string in one of two name universes: terms and types.
* The same string can be a name in both universes.
* Two names are equal if they represent the same string and they are
* members of the same universe.
*
* Names are interned. That is, for two names `name11 and `name2`,
* `name1 == name2` implies `name1 eq name2`.
