I did a lot of work on C++ name mangling for D so feel free to 
introduce me to the student. I can probably save her/him a lot of 
time.

After *many* attempts it seems the only way to get this right is 
to look at how clang does it and replicate the logic (starting 
point 
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang/blob/google/stable/include/clang/AST/Mangle.h)

The state of my research on mangling so far are summed up here

I also have a bunch of failed experiments branches:
- https://github.com/gchatelet/dmd/tree/new_cpp_mangle
- https://github.com/gchatelet/dmd/tree/new_cpp_mangle2
- https://github.com/gchatelet/dmd/tree/new_cpp_mangling2
- https://github.com/gchatelet/dmd/tree/more_mangling_tests

Unfortunately I couldn't spend more time on this :(
