Since LocalDeclarationsLowering is a BodyLoweringPass, local
functions inside one declaration are handled independently of local
functions in the other declaration. This can lead to name clashes, in
case a local function with the same name and signature is declared in
overloads in the same container, which results in a signature clash
error in JVM IR.
The issue became more common with the introduction of adapted function
references, where psi2ir generates a local adapter-function with a
predefined name, which can easily clash with another reference to the
same target in an overload. This led to a compilation error when
bootstrapping Kotlin with JVM IR, for example in GradleIRBuilder.kt
where there are a lot of references to the same function.
