| It isn't.  The ABI makes no attempt to mandate the output of the demangler.

That was my understanding as well, but Daniel seems to say it does
which puzzles me.

Furthermore I would appreciate to see where the ABI says "a reference
to T" should be output "T &" and not "T&".  We should attempt to adapt
tools to match humans views and not the other way around.
