What's "id"? Isn't it better for "id" to be just the version number of the compiler? The version number is easy to understand for final users, while Bugzilla issue numbers or other numbers are less easy to remember and use.

Currently prints: Language changes listed by -transition=id: =field,3449 do list all non-mutable fields occupies object instance =tls do list all variables going into thread local storage So id is a string and there is a key. I think this is OK. Sorry for the noise.
