Indeed, but I think that was not the only way in which name mangling
changed.  Anyway, it seems to me that the change was not intentional,
since, with -fsquangle, the array count gets back to 2.  But the
damage is already done, and it's better for 2.95 to keep binary
compatibility with 1.1.2 than with 1.0.3, until -fsquangle is enabled
by default, along with a couple of other backward-incompatible C++ ABI
changes that are going to be enabled in the future.
