+These options control whether to demangle symbol names in error
+messages and other output.  When the linker is told to demangle, it
+tries to present symbol names in a readable fashion: it strips leading
+underscores if they are used by the object file format, and converts
+C++ mangled symbol names into user readable names.  The linker will
+demangle by default unless the environment variable
+.B COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE
+is set.  These options may be used to override the default.
