What would you all say to the following proposal (and should I

1. deprecate pragma(mangle)

extern ( <LanguageIdent> [, <String> ] )

I was going to propose an additional syntax `extern(C++,
"string")` (that doesn't introduce a scope) as a compromise, but
your suggestion to extend it to all kinds of foreign languages is
even better. I haven't read your proposal in detail, but I
definitely like the general idea.
