pure nothrow @safe char[] `demangle`(return scope const(char)[] `buf`, return scope char[] `dst` = null);
  Demangles D mangled names. If it is not a D mangled name, it returns its argument name.
  Parameters:

  const(char)[] `buf` | The string to demangle.
  char[] `dst` | An optional destination buffer.

  Returns:
  The demangled name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D name.
pure nothrow @safe char[] `demangleType`(const(char)[] `buf`, char[] `dst` = null);
  Demangles a D mangled type.
  Parameters:

  const(char)[] `buf` | The string to demangle.
  char[] `dst` | An optional destination buffer.

  Returns:
  The demangled type name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D type.
pure nothrow @safe char[] `reencodeMangled`(return scope const(char)[] `mangled`);
  reencode a mangled symbol name that might include duplicate occurrences of the same identifier by replacing all but the first occurence with a back reference.
  Parameters:

  const(char)[] `mangled` | The mangled string representing the type

  Returns:
  The mangled name with deduplicated identifiers
pure nothrow @safe char[] `mangle`(T)(return scope const(char)[] `fqn`, return scope char[] `dst` = null);
  Mangles a D symbol.
  Parameters:

  T | The type of the symbol.
  const(char)[] `fqn` | The fully qualified name of the symbol.
  char[] `dst` | An optional destination buffer.

  Returns:
  The mangled name for a symbols of type T and the given fully qualified name.
  Examples:

      assert(mangle!int("a.b") == "_D1a1bi");
      assert(mangle!(char[])("test.foo") == "_D4test3fooAa");
      assert(mangle!(int function(int))("a.b") == "_D1a1bPFiZi");

pure nothrow @safe char[] `mangleFunc`(T : FT*, FT)(return scope const(char)[] `fqn`, return scope char[] `dst` = null)
if (is(FT == function));
  Mangles a D function.
  Parameters:

  T | function pointer type.
  const(char)[] `fqn` | The fully qualified name of the symbol.
  char[] `dst` | An optional destination buffer.

  Returns:
  The mangled name for a function with function pointer type T and the given fully qualified name.
enum string `cPrefix`;
  C name mangling is done by adding a prefix on some platforms.
