Comment (by dterei):

 I'm very in support of getting rid of the mangler. I just don't think we
 can given what LLVM supports today. I may be wrong about Windows, but I
 thought someone added support to the mangler to handle some Windows
 specific issues. I had forgotten about the OSX alignment issue, so that is
 one other use case.

 Perhaps the LLVM API would allow this, I didn't think it was more
 expressive than the LLVM language but haven't checked.

 It's worth playing around with this new function data prefix if you have
 the inclination just to see what we can get done with it.
