+- The mangling scheme for C++20 modules has incompatibly changed. The
+  initial mangling was discovered not to be reversible, and the weak
+  ownership design decision did not give the backwards compatibility
+  that was hoped for. C++20 since added ``extern "C++"`` semantics
+  that can be used for such compatibility. The demangler now demangles
+  symbols with named module attachment.
