Decimal Floating Point mangling was(Fw: [cxx-abi-dev] C++0x: Mangling of rvalue reference type)s

[Michael Wong]

I also agree.
Also I meant to add that for Decimal Floating Point, Mark and I have spoke
late last year about adding the following mangling:


     Decimal32:           "p"
     Decimal64:            "q"
     Decimal128:         "r"

Basically, we looked at the holes that remain in the one letter case and
chose this rather then multiple letters. I should also write one up for
this per Mark's instructions.

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.)
