Comment (by goldfire):
My first step toward fixing this is prohibiting export of `newName` names.
But it strikes me that a good approach is to avoid adding system names to
the `GlobalRdrEnv`. `newName` names are indeed system names, and I think,
in general, users should never be able to refer to system names in code.
Is there a reason this is a bad approach?
