Is the plan to manually expand this to all public types in the library? That seems like something that'll quickly get out of hand and out of sync. I thought the idea was to create an automated test for this somehow (maybe clang-tidy?)

At some point I'd like to add an automated test, yes. I'm not quite sure how to do that yet though.

For now my plan is to just pin down manglings where we think it's easy to mess up. I don't expect we'd miss a mangling change in most places, so I don't think it makes a ton of sense to add stuff like vector::iterator.
