True, though it wouldn't be hard to write a GDB extension to unmangle the names (I know D had this from quite early in it's lifetime). In general, I leave unmangled names to things that are part of the external interface: when unmangling the name, I'm explicitly saying "this symbol's name is part of the contract I have with user of this library".

There's already something that ships with Rust that unmangles some stuff: http://michaelwoerister.github.io/2015/03/27/rust-xxdb.html
