Actually, all I asked for was a standard function that takes a 
mangled name in a string and returns a standard string 
representation of that type ("std::vector" or whatever.)

The standard would only have to enforce that the function return 
a human-readable output.

The actual ABI I'm not too concerned about, quite frankly.

I just want to demangle type name strings!  Why did GCC 3.4.0 
have to muck up its demangling facility! :-(
