Bug 8578 – std.demangle.demangle does not parse symbols that are type names

Use of demangle from std.demangle or core.demangle on the mangled names in an object or library generated by dmd works only on the names of functions, and not on the names of types embedded in such objects and libraries. e.g. the following names are not demangled, being type names (ending in Z). _D13libd_demangle12__ModuleInfoZ _D15TypeInfo_Struct6__vtblZ _D3std5stdio12__ModuleInfoZ _D3std6traits15__T8DemangleTkZ8Demangle6__initZ _D47TypeInfo_S3std6traits15__T8DemangleTkZ8Demangle6__initZ Opinion: D should do the right thing and have the facility to demangle all of its own mangled names; no-one else will.
