Need a way to get compressed mangling of a symbol.

Thank you for the reply!

My current clean room implementation is limited to:

const(char)* mangledSymbol(alias symbol)()
{
     static assert(((symbol.mangleof) ~ "\0").length < 128, "long 
names won't be available in a library!");
     return ((symbol.mangleof) ~ "\0").ptr;
}

as it turned out i_didn't_need_that_descriptive_names. I'm 
posting it here, so maybe it'll be easier for some people to 
follow the currently bumpy road of DLLs in D :)
