To clarify, I carefully avoided arguing for *removing* the C++-based
demangler from libstdc++ so as to dodge this issue.
What I'm arguing for is not *using* the C++-based demangler in the
libsupc++ version of __cxa_demangle and instead using the one in
libiberty.
If the V3 maintainers want to keep the C++ version of the demangler
around so that user programs can use it instead of __cxa_demangle,
that's OK by me, though it's not what I would choose to do personally.
