(** {b Descr}: Empty the memoization table for values type schemes. This
    function *MUST* be called before each package compilation otherwise we
    accumulates schemes fom previous packages that have been renamed with
    different refreshed (for separate compilation stuff).
    Not calling it has the disastrous consequence that when compiling a package
    P1, the table is filled with schemes renamed for P1. Then when compiling
    a package P2 (opa.exe is still running without having ended) then schemes
    of values already used by P1 and now used by P2 are already in the table,
    but with the refreshed variables for P1, not those for P2. As a result,
    we typecheck P2 with type variables belonging to P1 and then explicit
    instantiation fails because it uses, itself, variables renamed for P2.
