mangle

[Jonathan M Davis]

By the way, why _does_ D mangle its names? What's the advantage? I understood 
that C++ does it because it was forced to back in the days when it was 
transformed into C code during compilation but that it's now generally 
considered a legacy problem that we're stuck with rather than something that 
would still be considered a good design decision.

So, why did D go with name mangling? It certainly makes stuff like stack traces 
harder to deal with. I've never heard of any advantage to name mangling, only 
disadvantages.
