Title: Damage control related to AnyRef specialization

- Remove its use from `AbstractPartialFunction`
- Reject `Name`-s with negative length or offset.
- Harden and test `unspecializedName` / `splitSpecializedName`

I stop short of removing this facility altogether. When we do, we should remember to touch the group `Specialized.All`.
