I was wondering whether we could do without the name_set field by
doing this symbol_set_names loop only over the new minsyms, before
appending them to the objfile's preexisting minsyms list, but I guess
the need for deduplication shows that we'd be demangling more than
necessary.

Don't change it, since the other fields are the same, but,

I'm wondering whether nowadays with C++ we shouldn't be writing

  bool name_set : 1;

and then use true/false instead of 0/1.

I assume that it compiles down to the same.
