[phobos] core.demangle replacing std.demangle?

[Sean Kelly]

I don't think the compression is mentioned in the ABI, so core.demangle won't handle it correctly.  I'll take a look at the DMD source and see what can be done.  Hopefully there's some easy way for a parser to recognize that a symbol is compressed.

The un-demanglable symbols seem to  be really complicated template instantiations, like randomShuffle!(chain!(... .  IIRC there's some fundamental limitation where once a symbol gets huge DMD relies on hashing, so the mangling no longer has an inverse.  Is this true, or is it worth spending some time trying to create a decent test case?
