/* Here are some random pieces of trivia to keep in mind while trying
   to take apart demangled names:

   - Names can contain function arguments or templates, so the process
     has to be, to some extent recursive: maybe keep track of your
     depth based on encountering <> and ().

   - Parentheses don't just have to happen at the end of a name: they
     can occur even if the name in question isn't a function, because
     a template argument might be a type that's a function.

   - Conversely, even if you're trying to deal with a function, its
     demangled name might not end with ')': it could be a const or
     volatile class method, in which case it ends with "const" or
     "volatile".

   - Parentheses are also used in anonymous namespaces: a variable
     'foo' in an anonymous namespace gets demangled as "(anonymous
     namespace)::foo".

   - And operator names can contain parentheses or angle brackets.  */
