Some changes to hierarchy extraction and hierarchical naming (again).
There were no "hard" errors, the fix was only to make things more
consistent in corner cases. All existing test continued to run
unmodified. The resulting code is simpler (again) so I'm optimistic
that all is well. But you never know.

It would be good if someone could just run his existing simulation/
waveform trace/conversion. I only need to know that 0.5b1
version is not worse than the 0.5a1 :-)

Of course it's a holiday season, so I can wait until 29 december
for a release, but I want to get it out still this year.
