[cfe-dev] Accessibility of name mangling utilities

Yes, that would be good but I guess would require more re-engineering than
simply moving the corresponding header files.  When I needed to use name
mangling, I had to reverse engineer the current implementation for the cases
I cared about and re-implement it from scratch.
