[Laszlo-dev] what do to with dependency functions when porting code to swf9

[P T Withington]

I'm using this convention elsewhere:

$lzc$set_foo

for foo's setter method, so lets use:

$lzc$dependcencies_foo

My reasoning:  $lzc$ is representing the internal compiler  
'namespace' (someday can be replaced with $lzc:) and we control that  
namespace so don't have to worry about user collisions.  Then I am  
just prepending a unique tag that describes what is really going on,  
like 'set_' for a setter method, so 'dependencies_' for a dependencies  
method.
