I'm sure there are good reasons not to do this all the time, but it seems like it would be a nice user experience thing in the 90% case.

gold at least, if not other Linux linkers, demangles:

"hello.cpp:(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `func(int, int, int)'"

(& as for the idea of off-by-default beginner's warnings - that might
be a hard pitch. There's generally some resistance to adding
off-by-default warnings to Clang as they don't get a lot of usage
because people don't find them & turn them on.)
