You mean the maybe_tweak change? Not sure I understand it.
Anyway, using VEC is probably cleaner than my patch, on the other
side might be more expensive for the common case where most
symbols don't demangle the same like any other symbol,
because then you allocate a VEC (I think 4 pointers) for each of the
hash table entries, i.e. one extra allocation for each.

Me neither ;).
Anyway, the question is if the increases in object sizes with -frepo
(due to bringing in unused ctor or dtor variants from time to time)
will be acceptable to -frepo users (if there are any).
