Right.
The sooner i can deprecate, and then remove the cruft needed to support
the old abi, and stop fighting issues related to badly demangled names,
the better.
However, i'm just a little bitter from having to fight bugs really caused
by not being able to demangle some names properly, and they are unfixable
because their is more than one valid demangling.
I apologize for the swipe.
Hopefully we'll never move to another mangling scheme without an official
grammar.
