One of the nice things about open-source is that if you don't agree with a change you can revert it.
In this case name mangling might be disabled by removing one line https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/166126/files#diff-e.... Or if not it's still trivial to remove everything added by this commit.

They already did.
