He said that that won't happen any longer, the growth was because of
the return type. Is that correct?

Looks like growth is due to the fact that the voldemort type is in the
scope of a function and function is fun!(T).fun(T) - hence each level
multiplies by 2. And return type is not part of the mangled name already
- that would cause circular dependency, you would need the voldemort
type mangling to generate it.
Just to make sure I understand: do you agree or disagree that there's no
more exponential growth if we encode "auto return" in the mangling? Thx!
