Yeah, #3 is a partial fix.

We should definitely use #bindingOf: for comparing with bindings in a
CompiledMethod, because that's what the Compiler uses to create those
bindings in the first place.  Some of the other changes I've made in the
past few days have the effect of only using Aliases when necessary—that is,
when we're referring to a class or global by a different name from the one
it was declared with. Between that and Environment>>recompileAll, we should
have correct behaviour for the single-environment case that exists in the
trunk at the moment.

For the multi-environment cases, we'll need to handle Aliases correctly,
and I guess you're right about #literalEqual:.
