FWIW, we'll definitely get pushback about

There are clever users of lldb, often working at assembly language level without any symbolic information, who are able to correctly call a C++ mangled function by hand.  It's not something I'd want to do personally, but I'd be mad at my debugger if it gave me an error message when I told it what to do.
