OK, so as a practical matter, I'd like to be able to demangle 
these types that appear as symbols in object &c. files. Is there 
a simple way I can modify a mangled type such as

_D47TypeInfo_S3std6traits15__T8DemangleTkZ8Demangle6__initZ

into a mangled qualified name so it can be demangled by the 
existing demangle function and the result then modified into a 
string representing a type?
