Any ilasm will break with the code generated for the injection module at the
moment.  (The reason it didn't show up with 0.12.x was that the injection
module wasn't added to the standard library until after that was released; the
actual bug, duplicate definitions in the generated IL, shows with
0.12.x comilers as well.)

A temporary workaround is to comment out the function versions of
injection.delete_vars and injection.delete_keys.
