+++ Token renaming. New Boot and Old Boot differs in the set of
+++ tokens they rename. When converting code written in Old Boot
+++ to New Boot, it is helpful to have some noise about potential
+++ divergence in semantics. So, when compiling with --boot=old,
+++ we compute the renaming in both Old Boot and New Boot and compare
+++ the results. If they differ, we prefer the old meaning, with some
+++ warnings. Notice that the task is compounded by the fact the
+++ tokens in both language do not always agreee.
+++ However, to minimize the flood of false positive, we
+++ keep a list of symbols which apparently differ in meanings, but
+++ which have been verified to agree.
+++ This is a valuable automated tool during the transition period.
