Basically, we need to change how we store symbol information.  It's not
flexible to account for multiple namespaces.  There's quite a bit in
the archives about it if I recall correctly...

By the way, if that includes a v3 demangler - there are three failures
in the demangler testsuite on v3 for functions taking function pointers
that I can't wrap my head around... :)
