          Issue ID: 18053
           Summary: Use stdint.h mangling for int64_t/uint64_t when
                    mangling D long/ulong

Currently it's a bit of a nightmare of inconsistent behavior from one compiler
to the next, making it hard to portably interface to C++ code. Making it
conform to int64_t / uint64_t should fix that.

The Elf C++ spec for mangling is:
