Issue ID: 14591
Summary: [SPEC] Ambiguity between extern(Pascal) and template
value parameters
Product: D
Version: D1 & D2

It's impossible to tell when demangling a symbol whether a 'V' we have
encountered is for a extern(Pascal) calling convention or a template value
parameter.
Two examples:
_D8demangle32__T4testTS8demangle3fooVnnZ3barZ3bazFZv
_D8demangle27__T4testTS8demangle3fooVnnZ3bar3bazFZv
One should be demangled to:
demangle.test!(demangle.foo(none, none).bar).baz()
and the other to:
demangle.test!(demangle.foo, null).bar.baz()
Because of this, I suggest Pascal calling convention mangle symbol should be
changed to another symbol that is not shared with TemplateArgX (or even better,
we should remove Pascal entirely)
