I recognize your name from IRC, where you posted a related 
question yesterday.
The person in charge for D in GDB had answered:

The problem is that the mangling scheme has changed (to produce 
shorter mangles). Demangling will be eventually supported when D 
will be in GCC for good (GCC 10) and then he would port the 
demangling from GCC to GDB.

So for now demangling of D in GDB only work if the binary is 
compiled with a very old version of the compiler, i.e prior to 
the new mangling method.
