I think we should also allow using the mangled name, supporting (de)mangling is of course nice, but not required per-se. Esp. since there's more than just C++ mangling. Having the mangling stuff as optional makes it a convenience but still allows using this on other languages for which we do not support the mangling.

What is the problem with the '+' character? Why cannot this be used?
