+### Vendor-specific suffix
+
+Similarly to the [Itanium C++ ABI mangling scheme][itanium-mangling-structure], a symbol name
+containing a period (`.`) represents a vendor-specific version of the symbol. There are no
+restrictions on the characters following the period.
+
+This can happen in practice when locally unique names needed to become globally unique. For example,
+LLVM can append a `.llvm.<numbers>` suffix during LTO to ensure a unique name. In these situations
+it's generally fine to ignore the suffix: the suffixed name has the same semantics as the original.
