I think it's not so good idea. @ is used for never mangled things (e.g. Terror,
Tinstance, etfc), but __U is *actually* used, even it's only for the internal
structure.

A note for GDC and LDC: If a TemplateInstance object is "dummy" instance that
using __U, its `members` field is NULL. In dmd code, it's excluded at ToObjFile
visitor in toobj.c.
