I am actually sympathetic to Andrew's ideas here, since with some
version of the extra abstraction he suggests, I could avoid all
permanent storage for demangled names.
I think generalizing names is probably the way to go. Certainly C++
needs names with some structure; using strings there is silly. I'm
not convinced it can be made quite as simple as Andrew says, but I
could be wrong about that.
Just like the frame, arch, and regcache code, this won't be easy or
simple - it will take multiple iterations and true long term commitment
to GDB.
What we do need to do is recognize the real value in perusing this
strategy (screwing down and better defining interfaces), and that it is
a strategy we can't afford to postpone. Can we do that?
