There are two things that have to be done to make it right.
    - Separate the case-preserving names from the canonical,
    - Confine references to Omake_cache.

We really don't want to sprinkle reference cells through the code; we  
want to put them in one place.  This is the reason why the cache and  
the env are not just global variables.  In many cases, it wouldn't be  
a big deal, but this is so fundamental, it is important to get it right.
