Thanks for the answer, John!

It's somehow contra-intuitive for shouldMangleDeclName to return true 
for decls that aren't/can't be mangled.

I know that I can solve the issue on my side, but I thought this is the 
original idea of that interface. Isn't it better to check for the decls 
that are mangled and for everything else to return false?
