The comparison of the initial literal in plugin primitive methods needs to compare the first two entries, not the first three.

Fix the compiler to collapse optimized block temps of the same name to the same temp location for a better debugging UX.

Name: Tools-eem.633

Fix hard VM crash when defining quick methods from MNUs in the debugger.  The bug is that the sender context (Message>>sentTo:) is doing a perform:withArguments:[inSuperclass:] but the receiver and arguments have already been removed from the context, so simply backing up to the point of send and proceeding will have disastrous consequences; there must be a receiver and arguments on the stack.  So if the arguments are unavailable we simply restart the context inmstead of backing up to the point of send.


To reproduce:
0. make sure e.g. Object>>#zork is unimplemented
1. evaluate "nil zork"
2. in the debugger examine the doesNotUnderstand: context and then hit proceed.
3. click the Create button and define
        Object>>#zork
                ^nil
4. (the debugger sets the active context to Message>>sentTo:) hit proceed

Before the VM woudl crash.  Now the debugger sets the pc to the start of the Message>>sentTo: method.
