By adding an InstId to the NameScope, we can determine whether the
declaration is being added to a scoped entity (versus a namespace).
The choice of InstId on NameScope is chosen versus other solutions
because, for imports, we want to just have a list of InstIds to import
and, from those, get the containing namespaces for addition. Similar may
also be desirable for printing fully qualified names given a singular
InstId. That means an InstId must have a path to find enclosing name
scopes.
What we're looking at here is:
- NameScopeId knows its InstId. (done here)
- Inst knows the enclosing NameScopeId. (future work)
- To walk up enclosing scopes for an Inst:
1. Fetch the Inst.
2. Find its enclosing NameScopeId (which will be per-declaration due to
Function etc complexity).
3. Fetch the NameScope if not Package scope. (if Package scope, done)
4. Use the InstId on the NameScope to go back to step 1.
Since we switched to using the scope stack instead of the decl state
stack to hold information about the containing definition in #3460 , we
can now pop the decl state at the end of the declaration instead of the
end of the body of the definition.
Continuing along with #3070. Note this is just a file rename, with BUILD
edits; every file previously in semantics/ should show as moved (except
maybe BUILDs, which split).
