temporarily disables the Typers test
discards synthetic member defs => that's enough to bring support for case classes
apparently case class extractors don't have to have modules in their originals

`val :: = scala.collection.immutable.::` is one counterexample.
ensugars varargs
a small refactoring of TypeTree ensugaring
apparently q"new $tpt(...$argss0)" sometimes deattributes tpt :(
ensugars the `List() => Nil` desugaring
support for while-do and do-while loops
correct desugaring for setter-based assignments

previous implementation disregarded originals of lhses
discards implicit views
Wow! Apparently, ApplyImplicitView and ApplyToImplicitArgs are quite okay
implicit parameters no longer have the Implicit mod
tests for implicit parameters and views
some debugging for ensugaring
tree.tpe != ensugar(tree).tpe
ensugars annotated terms and types
fixes a super conversion bug
conversion no longer crashes!!!

however, ensugar seems to destructively mutate input trees,
causing ExplicitOuter to crash later on. that's it for today :)
proactively duplicates the input - still doesn't help, but at least it's a start
