Subject: [PATCH] Remove note about C++ demangler from Rust documentation
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:46:53 -0600 [thread overview]

A note about the C++ demangler in the Rust documentation hasn't been
accurate for a while. Also, it probably isn't clear to users how this
related to the next bit of text in the same bullet point. This patch
removes the obsolete comment.
