A while ago I proposed this PR [1] to add support for C++ 
std::string, std::vector to D.

It's blocked on invalid name mangling for C++ templates [2].
I started fixing src/cppmangle.d [3] but it needs a complete 
rewrite.

Because mangling rules are complex, I took some time to gather my 
findings here:
https://github.com/gchatelet/gcc_cpp_mangling_documentation

Once I know precisely how mangling works, I'll rewrite the 
linux/osx part of src/cppmangle.d.

I'm short on spare time so if you're willing to help, drop me a 
line :)

Thank you for your work on this. Hopefully someone else knows 
enough about name mangling and is willing to do some work on it.
