As noted in ticket:12415#comment:5 there are a large number of names
inhabiting `knownKeyNames` and therefore the original name cache due to
tuples and sums. It shouldn't be so hard to remove these and handle them
in an ad-hoc manner:
* original name cache lookups (e.g. finding out the `Name` associated
with an `OccName`) can been handled by parsing the `OccName`'s string
* looking up the `Name` associated with a `Unique` (which is needed in
`BinIface` during interface file deserialization) can be done with a set
of static functions.
