Given the code:

module mangle;

extern (C) bool runModuleUnitTests()
{
     static struct Console
     {
         Console opCall( in char[] val )
         {
             return this;
         }
     }
     return false;
}


The D frontend will generate the mangled symbol (and its 
initialiser) as:

_D6mangle18runModuleUnitTestsUZb7Console6opCallMFxAaZSrunModuleUnitTests7Console
_DrunModuleUnitTests7Console6__initZ

Instead of the more desired:

_D6mangle18runModuleUnitTestsFZb7Console6opCallMFxAaZS6mangle18runModuleUnitTestsFZb7Console
_D18runModuleUnitTest7Console6__initZ


Is this desirable? It makes demangling such symbols difficult.
