I have probably lost the context of the question.  I am only talking
about the case where DMGL_PARAMS is not passed.  In that case, the
demangler will indeed print `Foo::method' for both of your examples.
For that matter, it will also print `Foo::method' for `int method
(int);'.

If DMGL_PARAMS is passed, then the demangler will print
`Foo::method()' and `Foo::method() const' as usual.

I think that is appropriate.  Without DMGL_PARAMS, you can't
distinguish any Foo::method overloaded based on parameter types.  So
it seems logical to me that you also shouldn't be able to distinguish
overloading based on the method qualifier.  And that is how the V2
demangler behaved when DMGL_PARAMS was not passed.

Does that make sense?

Ian
