I believe I have made all necessary changes on both the mangling and
unmangling sides to get demangling to work correctly.  This was, at
least, true for a while on some rather large C++ programs (millions of
lines); the demangled output was the same with and without -fsquangle.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to write test-cases for this, given
our current testing framework, so we don't have a way to test that we
haven't broken stuff.  If someone contributed a new test-harness piece
that allowed one to compile the same source file with and without
-fsquangle, run `nm | c++filt' on the resulting .o files, and compare
the results that would be very nice.
