Both position and comment pickler accessed symbols in trees. Position pickler also accessed denotations through symbols.
This is a potential race since both operations depend on phase-indexed caches, which are not protected.
We now avoid the problem by pre-computing everything position and comment pickler need from symbols, and passing it separately to them. Neither position nor tree pickler takes a context anymore, which means they cannot possibly interfere
with the rest -- or, rather, they can interfere only through global variables, the same way a parallel compiler testing thread does. But we have that well under control through the existing static race detection mechanism.
