Bug 12352 – Consistently stop encoding return type of parent functions

Currently, for a function local symbol, the return types of its parent functions are normally mangled into the name. module test; int foo() { void bar() { struct S {} pragma(msg, S.mangleof); // S 4test 3fooFZi 3barMFZv 1S // | | // int of foo | // void of bar } return 0; } But, for Voldemort types, we already has an exception of the rule. module test; auto foo() { auto bar() { struct S {} pragma(msg, S.mangleof); // S 4test 3fooFZ 3barMFZ 1S // | | // no return type for foo | // no return type for bar return S(); } return 0; } The change was introduced to fix Issue 8847. Essentially encoding the return types is redundant, because D does not allow function overloading based on the return types.
