What is the purpose of Boost.Demangle? I.e., why are we so worried about
performance (avoiding string copying and such)?

Is this library supposed to be used in deployed applications as a
crucial part of the actual program logic (i.e., in helping the developer
solving a business problem)?

I thought it was to be used for debugging and stack tracing.

But that would add an additional copy
of the demangled name.
