Re: Structural pattern matching and mangling private names

I don't remember this topic ever being discussed, but still I wouldn't
expect that __something to be mangled, given that it refers to an attribute
of an instance of D.

I might expect that in a "case D(something=__y)" you get the mangling for
__y, but I'm not sure what the implementation does now and I'm writing from
my phone
