Store a `Symbol` instead of an `Ident` in `VariantDef`/`FieldDef` The field is also renamed from `ident` to `name`. In most cases, we don't actually need the `Span`. A new `ident` method is added to `VariantDef` and `FieldDef`, which constructs the full `Ident` using `tcx.def_ident_span()`. This method is used in the cases where we actually need an `Ident`. This makes incremental compilation properly track changes to the `Span`, without all of the invalidations caused by storing a `Span` directly via an `Ident`. |
