[patch] Render anonymous entities with "(anonymous thing)" rather than "<anonymous thing>"

[David Majnemer]

FYI, GCC seems to use curly braces for some diagnostics:

given:
namespace { int x; }
namespace { int x; }

GCC outputs:
error: redefinition of 'int {anonymous}::x'

Personally, I like the curly braces more than the parens.

Just my two cents on the issue.
