Thanks guys.  Appreciate the (detailed) response.

Actually, this explains quite a bit.  I've run into times sporadically
where i'd be using the mangled name and it wouldn't be recognized and
had no ready explanation for it.

Is there a specific reason that two letter words arent mangled?  (I
was looking in the comments of RubyUtils.cs but didn't find anything
:-P ).

Thanks,
Martin
