Yeah, I find that at least "weird", though not necessarily wrong.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that - again, not quite sure I'd say it goes as far 
as "wrong" (I mean, DWARF doesn't spec this - so wrongness in our own judgment, 
not any authoritative sense) but yeah, perhaps insufficiently motivated 
quirkiness.

Fair enough - I wouldn't object to that change being made & just having it the 
same for MSVC and DWARF in this case. (it's a /bit/ less good for C++11 and 
above users to get names with the extra space, but seems minor enough perhaps 
not to bother trying to preserve it given the complicaitons)
