This patch bothers me: it doesn't handle Java cleanly, and I'm not
sure about the 'options' argument to language_demangle. It seems to
me that, at the very least, there should be a java_demangle function
defined that takes the options passed in, applies '| DMGL_JAVA' to it,
and calls cplus_demangle.
But I also wanted to double-check: does 'options' really make sense
for all language types? If I'm reading the patch correctly, it looks
like Objective C just throws it away. If that's the case, then I
don't think that 'options' should be part of the language vector: if
C++ needs it for internal purposes, then C++ could have its own more
flexible demangler with that option (which Java could also use), but
the version in the language vector should be more restricted.
