Re: Parameterizing on incomplete types

But, I've stumbled upon what appears to be a Kawa bug that's preventing
me from evaluating an expression containing two class literals when both
are defined in the REPL (or in the same test script).

I checked in a fix for this.

This was a subtle bug in the way we general class names for
interactive "module fragments" - each line is supposed to have
a unique name like atInteractiveLevel$N for differing values of N.
However, this name is set after parsing.

When we see the define-simple-class it needs the module class name
at that time, so we force a name for module class - but it's not
the correct one, and it's not unique.  Which means backward references
fail.

The fix is to set the module's class name before parsing the line.
