-     * caller was a method of the object itself, which might not be true if
-     * the method was exported. This is a bit of a hack, but the simplest way
-     * to do this (pushing a stack frame would be horribly expensive by
-     * comparison, and is only done when we'd otherwise interfere with the
-     * global namespace).
+     * Convert the variable name to fully-qualified form if it wasn't already.
+     * This has to be done prior to lookup because we can run into problems
+     * with resolvers otherwise. [Bug 3603695]
+     *
+     * We still need to do the lookup; the variable could be linked to another
+     * variable and we want the target's name.
