This patch introduces the "environment coordinate" concept, which
encodes the distance from a variable access to the binding it ends up
resolving to.
EnvironmentCoordinate has two fields:
- hops: The number of hops up the lexical environment chain we have
to make before getting to the resolved binding.
- index: The index of the resolved binding within its declarative
environment record.
Whenever a variable lookup resolves somewhere inside a declarative
environment, we now cache the coordinates and reuse them in subsequent
lookups. This is achieved via a coordinate cache in JS::Identifier.
Note that non-strict direct eval() breaks this optimization and so it
will not be performed if the resolved environment has been permanently
screwed by eval().
This makes variable access *significantly* faster. :^)
