    Occasionally I forget to include a member function which leads  to
interesting message from the loader like

    ``ld: Undefined external - __mystream__ctorFI__''

    it would be nice to  know  what  the  C++  names  are  (i.e.  what
argument types are expected) by such  functions  so  I	can  add  them
without much searching of the code.   Can  someone  (such  as  Bjarne)
explain the rules used to convert C++ names into C names?  This  would
also be useful for debugging.

    Thanks,
