[cxx-abi-dev] 3.4 Demangler API, for types

I assume that "i" in a file is more apt to not be a symbol.
And files usually have external symbols with _Z?

>The demangler should demangle "i" to "int".

Yes if on the command line, g++'s c++filt "(C++ demangler), version 3.2".
This version also doesn't handle "foo" on the command line, it prints:
$ /usr/local/bin/c++filt foo
float

Ok, I've made that change and for my c++filt, I have the similar diffs
on file vs. command line.
Though I do demangle "foo" as "foo" and not "float".
