DMD 0.177 release

[David L. Davis]

Walter in dmd v0.176 you improved name mangling, but I've found one very 
confusing change...is it your intension to reuse the "b" which used to mean 
"bit," to now mean a "bool" instead of "x?"

For example, one function "real vdb(real, real, real, real, real, real, bool 
= false)" used in my financial D dll,
before dmd v0.148 was released when the "bool" data type was added 
(replacing the "bit" data type) the function's mangled name was 
"D13financial_dll3vdbFeeeeeebZe". And with dmd v0.148 and later, the "bit" 
data type become an alias to bool and all the "b" (for "bit") were replaced 
with "x" (for "bool"), thus the funtion's mangled name changed to become 
"D13financial_dll3vdbFeeeeeexZe". But now it looks like "x" has been 
replaced by "b," is this a mistake on your part, or have you decided to use 
a "b" as meaning a "bool" (discarding "x")?

So currently the "vdb()" funtion under dmd v0.177 has returned to the old 
mangled name "D13financial_dll3vdbFeeeeeebZe," as if a "bool" has become a 
"bit" again.

Thanks again for all the great work you've been putting into D year after 
year!
