The MLDS sometimes generates references to `private_builtin:dummy_var'.
This is supposed to be defined by the Mercury runtime.
If you output those as unqualified, like you do with other data
references, then they'll be dangling references, since `dummy_var'
won't be defined in the current module.

(But I think it would probably be best for you to go ahead and commit
the rest of your changes first, and deal with this one as a separate
change.)
