name mangling cannot be reversed

We're using hacks like identity numbers instead of paths to traits and types.

Nominating for the production ready milestone. Debugging and profiling really need to be sane, and these are going to be visible in any traceback.

Please do not assign issues to milestones. The nomination process is documented here: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Note-milestone-nomination

@brson: Ah, I had the wrong impression about how the process worked.

Visiting for triage, email from 2013-09-02.

I might argue that this should be part of Milestone 4, Well-Covered, before production-ready; Tools (both internal and third-party) to evaluate code quality and code correctness are going to need this.

[alexcrichton]

Improvement will be made in #8875, although it's mostly fixing bugs there in name collisions, and I think that there's still room for improvement.

Accepted for production-ready

[pnkfelix]

Assiging to 1.0 milestone, since it would be good to have this and it sounds like we might almost already have it. But also giving it priority P-low.

[alexcrichton]

Nominating for removal from a milestone. This is pretty backwards compatible, I think it's safe to have the exact definition of our symbols in flux at 1.0.
