For the non interactive version, you can just use `perf report | 
ddemangle`
As for the interactive version, I don't know. Other coreutils 
tools have a `--demangle=dlang` option (e.g. `nm`), but perf only 
have `--demangle` to prevent demangling of symbols:

```
         --demangle        Disable symbol demangling
         --demangle-kernel
                           Enable kernel symbol demangling
```

There's also an `objdump` option which you can set to a shell 
script that does `objdump --demangle=dlang $*` so you get symbols 
demangled in the disassembled code, but for the main interface, 
there doesn't seem to be a way to do it interactively. Perhaps 
raise the issue upstream?
