Either is probably fine, but I'd like to understand what is going on. It seems like it should be NFC, but does that mean that the demangling (and the cpu/memory cost) is delayed until the first operation which requests it (such as matching a breakpoint by the full demangled name) ?

Based on the code and the comments, it really looks like it was always the intention to avoid demangling the whole name, but then (accidentally?) made it work by storing it in the ConstString. The continue on line 333 is what prevents us from indexing the full name.
That's what I was missing. Thanks.

# make sure we can look up the mangled name, demangled base name,
# demangled name with argument.
unstripped_Z3pat_symbols = unstripped_target.FindSymbols("_Z3pati")

I guess this is no longer true
