_GLOBAL__I_*

I took my binary compiled with g++ (GCC) 3.2 20020306 (experimental) and
ran through nm and then c++-filt

In doing that I found a few symbols with names similar to
_GLOBAL__I__ZNSt6locale4noneE and started to ponder why they weren't
demangled and what the intention of them is.

When I had a look in the code it seemd that they were some kind of global
constructors but still, why not demangle them.

On a completly different note c++filt seems to use argv[0] as program name
for --version and that is as far as I understand not in accordance with
the GNU coding standards.
