Yeah, I don't know what happened to the test cases for template mangling. 
They were certainly tested when the new manger was being introduced, but 
somehow disappeared.

There was no special std mangling because at the time C++ mangling was 
updated, there were no C++ namespaces in D.

It works for ddmd's array.d/array.h at least, although it's not very 
maintenance friendly.  I assume you're aiming for something like a 
'core.stdcpp.vector' with an implementation to match each stl 
implementation?
