Mangling really isn't a good way to detect ODR violations. If you
mangle two things the same, then you can have two declarations that
don't match and are undetected; if you mangle two things differently,
then you can have two definitions that are undetected. I think it's
best to choose manglings based on other criteria, like ease of
implementation or standardness.
