 I don't know why but it looks like it only works on functions. 
 Even if a struct is not a template the custom symbol mangle 
 won't be handled:

 ---
 import std.stdio;

 pragma(mangle, "a0") class MyClass{}
 pragma(mangle, "a1") struct MyStruct{}
 pragma(mangle, "a2") void body_func();
 pragma(mangle, "a3") struct MyStructh
     { pragma(mangle, "a4") void foo(){}}

 void main()
 {
     writeln(MyClass.mangleof);
     writeln(MyStruct.mangleof);
     writeln(body_func.mangleof);
     writeln(MyStructh.mangleof);
     writeln(MyStructh.foo.mangleof);
 }
 ---

 which outputs:

 ---
 C13temp_019455687MyClass
 S13temp_019455688MyStruct
 a2
 S13temp_019455689MyStructh
 a4
 ---

 'a4' being printed and not 'a3' is interesting BTW ;)
 I think that the manual is not clear enough about this pragma:

 http://dlang.org/pragma.html#mangle

 Unless the spec. are more detailed this could be considered as 
 a bug.
