In a sense Joy is about stopping NameQuakes.
In practically every other language every time a function is defined, or a
function is invoked, a Name Quake occurs.
By Name Quake I mean that the Name Space, the space of names has shifted
and changed. Old names perhaps no longer mean what they did.
This complicates analysis. It is hard to do rewriting in the presence of
NameQuakes. Because across the fault line of a NameQuake, the rewrite
rules must change.
