FWIW, it would be nice to have a demangler that other implementations

You already do: libiberty/cp-demangle.c. You might want to look at it.

Sorry, you have not persuaded me. I'd like to try this new
implementation out.

I think it's a mistake to do a new implementation in C++.

I think that the demangler should be written in C as an independent module so that it can be used in programs that are not written in C++. And I think that having two demanglers just makes things worse; now they can be out of synch in all sorts of weird ways.

Sorry to be negative,
