I started out looking to limit the noise from empty type
bounds, i.e. the endless repetition of
class A[T >: _root_.scala.Nothing <: _root_.scala.Any]
This led me to be reminded of all the unnecessary and
in fact damaging overreaches which are performed during parsing.
Why should a type parameter for which no bounds are
specified be immediately encoded with this giant tree:
TypeBounds(
Select(Select(Ident(nme.ROOTPKG), tpnme.scala_), tpnme.Nothing),
Select(Select(Ident(nme.ROOTPKG), tpnme.scala_), tpnme.Any)
)
...which must then be manually recognized as empty type bounds?
Truly, this is madness.
- It deftly eliminates the possibility of recognizing
whether the user wrote "class A[T]" or "class A[T >: Nothing]"
or "class A[T <: Any]" or specified both bounds. The fact
that these work out the same internally does not imply the
information should be exterminated even before parsing completes.
- It burdens everyone who must recognize type bounds trees,
such as this author
- It is far less efficient than the obvious encoding
- It offers literally no advantage whatsoever
Encode empty type bounds as
TypeBounds(EmptyTree, EmptyTree)
What could be simpler.

Top-level (i.e. owned by a package) => Ident(symbol)
Nested (i.e. owned by an object or a package object) => Select(owner, symbol)
Inner (i.e. owned by a static class) => selectTerm/selectType(owner, name)
Non-locatable (i.e. everything else) => see GenTrees.scala for more details
Changes w.r.t the previous approaches:
* Top-level refs are no longer reified as Select(This(package), symbol).
Proposed reification scheme is as resistant to resetAttrs as previous one,
but is at the same time much shorter.
* Refs to definitions from package objects are no longer Ident(symbol).
Otherwise reflective compilation of things like `_ :: _` fails.
* Contents of Predef._ and scala._ are no longer treated specially.
This increases the size of reificode, but is more hygienic.

This brings all the files into line with the .gitattributes
settings, which should henceforth be automatically maintained
by git.

this uncovers a bug in toolboxes: https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-6007
however that bug is not critical, so it will be dealt with later
