linker wrapper

[Steven Schveighoffer]

Just saw another linker error in d.learn, and it got me thinking

dmd just calls the linker, and the linker spits out link errors.  But what  
if we had a 'linker wrapper' program which translated mangled names into  
demangled names?  It would at least help people understand the problem  
better.  How many times does a newbie come back and say "I have this  
problem, and dmd spits out some weird message I don't understand" and it  
takes a person who half-speaks mangled d names to understand what the name  
is.

Given that D already includes a demangler, wouldn't it be rather trivial  
to write this program in D?

I know it would make my life a bit better.

Thoughts?  Takers?
