It should explain what does 'explicit' mean and what does 'linespec' mean.

It should explain that this field is used if user specified '*' as the first
character of the expression, then remaining text is stored here and other
fields remain NULL.

Although it should all maybe be enum + union as suggested in the other mail.

+User may specify both mangled or demangled form.

C source label, it could be also asm label seen by GDB as minsym.

As pointed out by Eli 'offset' does not say much what does it mean.
