Request to extend support also to other ABIs, like Rust, Swift, D and any mangled ABI.

Following the attachment of this report, I'm trying to investigate a possible case of DRuntimeGC memory leak on archlinux/glibc and cannot detect the same problem on alpine/musl.

I don't know if it helps, but I do know that kdab/hotspot and kdab/perfparser have support through 3rd party demangle-libraries to support Rust('_R') [v0 mangle] and D ('_D').
If this is a starting point to be added, great.

D code:
void main() {}

command: ldmd2 foo.d

For this print has used ldc2 (LLVM D Compiler), but same result on any D compiler.

By default using extern(D) - D ABI '_D'
extern(C++) - C++ ABI, demangle works
extern(C) - like betterC, no issue
