Thanks for your feedback, Mark. Frankly, at the moment I don't have a strong
opinion, but I'm wondering if existing practice can help us about those points:
in fact such "builtins" are modeled after the existing Microsoft builtins:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms177194.aspx
and probably knowing what Microsoft is doing could help... However, I don't
think Visual c++ uses our multivendor ABI, thus I'm not sure investigating that
point could suggest a specific mangling. What do you think? (well, in case we
are going to need help from people owning a recent Visual C++...)
