Depending on your viewpoint, either unfortunately (or fortunately), the
official standard C++ does not address C++ ABI.
My viewpoint is that it is "unfortunately".
Actually, all I asked for was a standard function that takes a
mangled name in a string and returns a standard string
representation of that type ("std::vector" or whatever.)
The standard would only have to enforce that the function return
a human-readable output.
The actual ABI I'm not too concerned about, quite frankly.
I just want to demangle type name strings! Why did GCC 3.4.0
have to muck up its demangling facility! :-(
