I think your point is valid but this situation actually wouldn't
happen because the C++ mangler would recognize that java::lang::Math
is a Java type and would apply the Java mangling rules.    I think
that with this change, Java has reached the point where it needs to
diverge from the C++ ABI and it would probably be a good idea to have
a way to distinguish the Java form from the C++ form.  My only concern
is that introducing a new divergent form would break existing tools
that do demangling until they could catchup.
