 The C++ and Java languages provides function overloading, which means
 that you can write many functions with the same name (providing each
 takes parameters of different types).  All C++ and Java function names
 are encoded into a low-level assembly label (this process is known as
-@dfn{mangling}). The @code{c++filt} program does the inverse mapping: it
-decodes (@dfn{demangles}) low-level names into user-level names so that
-the linker can keep these overloaded functions from clashing.

 Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
 dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential label.  If the
