"set demangle"

- Subject: "set demangle"
Consider this command:
(gdb) set demangle-style
Requires an argument. Valid arguments are none, auto, gnu, lucid, arm, hp, edg, gnu-v3, java, gnat.
There's a big question and a big problem.
- Is it necessary? Are there things whih demangle ambiguously in any of
the languages we support?
- It doesn't really work. It only affects symbol files loaded _after_ you
set it; if you see a problem and "set demangle-style", you're too late to
fix it.
Do we need it? If so, do we need to "fix" the problem? It would probably
involve re-demangling everything and re-hashing.
