Comment (by bgamari):
One of the reasons this seems to be so tricky is that `NameSort` conflates
a few concerns,
* Is the name given to us by the user or provided by the compiler (e.g.
`WiredIn`)?
* Is the name usable outside of the current module (`External` and
`Internal`)?
* Should the name be shown to the user (e.g. `System`)?
It's not entirely clear to me when this various constructors are being
used to represent what points in this space.
