Meta-ordering constraint:

DenotTransformers that change the signature of their denotation's info must go after erasure. The reason is that denotations are permanently referred to by TermRefs which contain a signature. If the signature of a symbol would change, all refs to it would become outdated - they could not be dereferenced in the new phase.

After erasure, signature changing denot-transformers are OK because signatures are never recomputed later than erasure.
