Rather than one-plus to get data16 (soon we'd need data32, etc), I think you
should use DW_FORM_block1. If consumers make invalid assumptions, we shouldn't
change DWARF to compensate for that.
I first thought of suggesting that we add words to the effect t

In Fortran if you declare a variable as a "parameter", the compiler creates a
named constant. The language allows named constants of any intrinsic type, that
is, a numeric (integer, real, or complex) value, a character value (including
strings), or a logical value. Given that strings are allowed
Sounds like time to submit a proposal.

Hi Cary,
In a previous message, you asked:
> Isn't DW_FORM_block* the form you're looking for?
And in the message below, you identified that the standard already allows the
block forms for constants, and the values are represented in "target
architecture" format. So yes, this is exactly what I
