 An {{{OccName}}} is more-or-less just a string, like "foo" or "Tree", giving the (unqualified) name of an entity. 
-Well, not quite just a string, because in Haskell a name like "C" could mean a type constructor or data constructor, depending on context. So GHC defines a type `OccName` that is a pair of a {{{FastString}}} and a {{{NameSpace}}} indicating which name space the name is drawn from.
