Demanger in gdb's NEWS file

[Andrew Cagney]

Ian,

Suggest adding an entry to GDB's news file mentioning that there's a new 
demangler - It's very news worthy and very user visible (and GDB could 
easily be the first kid on the block with a new release containing that 
code).

Actually, I think it would be far more newsworthy to follow the
subject line and add an entry about this new "demanger" thing. I know
some programs that could really use it.

GDB at all.)

+GDB has a new C++ demangler which does a better job on the mangled
