The mangling of inner types and whatnot is specified.  So, one
direction is ok.  But, a top level type can still have a "$" in its
name.

... so in this case, no demangling should be done.

... and this clause would not apply -- since we aren't looking at a
member type.  Likewise, we aren't looking at a local or anonymous
class.

The test class is something like:

public class Foo$What { }

The simple name of this is "Foo$What", not "What".
