def decode(name: SimpleName): SimpleName

Replace operator expansions by the operators themselves, and decode $u.... expansions into unicode characters.

Replace operator expansions by the operators themselves, and decode $u.... expansions into unicode characters.

def encode(name: SimpleName): SimpleName

Replace operator symbols by corresponding expansion strings, and replace characters that are not valid Java identifiers by "$u" followed by the character's unicode expansion. Note that no attempt is made to escape the use of '$' in name: blindly escaping them might make it impossible to call some platform APIs. This unfortunately means that decode(encode(name)) might not be equal to name, this is considered acceptable since '$' is a reserved character in the Scala spec as well as the Java spec.
