The optional Qualifier function determines what prefix to attach to
package-level names, enabling clients to qualify packages in different
ways, for example, using only the package name instead of its complete
path, or using the locally appropriate name for package given a set of
(possibly renaming) imports.
Prior to this change, clients wanting this behavior had to copy
hundreds of lines of complex printing logic.
Fun fact: (*types.Package).Path and (*types.Package).Name are valid
Qualifier functions.
We provide the RelativeTo helper function to create Qualifiers so that
the old behavior remains a one-liner.

The Uses, Defs and Scope information provided by go/types is
inadequate for answering "what if?" queries about the
structure of the lexical environment.
In this code, for example,
var x int
func f() {
print(x)
x := ""
print(x)
}
the two referring Idents x appear at the same lexical depth,
inside the function f's Scope object, yet they resolve to
different objects.
This package associates a lexical.Environment instance with
every reference to capture these differences. Each
environment is a linked list of enclosing Blocks, and for each
block, a number indicating what prefix of its bindings are
visible. (Zero for the first 'x' reference above, 1 for the
second.)
+ Smoke test over stdlib.
This functionality could be integrated with the type checker
in lieu of the not-so-useful types.Info.Scopes data, at little
extra cost in code or in running time/space. We should talk
about that.
