Something you may want to keep in mind while prototyping is that
writing a demangler in C++ (or any other unsafe language) is
particularly annoying, so you may want to keep fuzzers and sanitizers
always in your toolbox. The itanium demangler currently in tree
suffers from all kinds of bugs/vulnerabilities, FWIW.
