<type> ::= RR <type> # rvalue reference-to
Generating this is easy. Demangling would need a simple look ahead to
look for both.
Would using up another capital letter solve this trivial issue and save
more space? We could use "B". ;-)
(We do have two letter combos in TV TT TI TS and in ctor/dtor names.)
