The problem is that unique names depend on the order compilation units are initialized. The order of initialization is not specified by the C++ standard. Then, different compilers (or even the same compiler) may produce different initialization orders, and consequently the metavariable prefix is going to be different for different builds. This is not a bug, but it makes unit tests to fail since the output produced by different builds is different for the same input file.
Avoiding unique name feature in the default metavariable prefix avoids this problem.

For example, this feature is useful when displaying the integer value 10 with coercions enabled. In this case, we want to display "nat_to_int 10" instead of "10".

It was not a good idea to use heterogeneous equality as the default equality in Lean.
It creates the following problems.
- Heterogeneous equality does not propagate constraints in the elaborator.
For example, suppose that l has type (List Int), then the expression
l = nil
will not propagate the type (List Int) to nil.
- It is easy to write false. For example, suppose x has type Real, and the user
writes x = 0. This is equivalent to false, since 0 has type Nat. The elaborator cannot introduce
the coercion since x = 0 is a type correct expression.
Homogeneous equality does not suffer from the problems above.
We keep heterogeneous equality because it is useful for generating proof terms.

Fix (relevant) warnings produced by http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net.
Most warnings produced were incorrect. The tool does not seem to support some of the C++11 new features.
