We could have a DWARFUnitDIE type if we wanted to, but that would have to be a special type in addition to DWARFBasicDIE. However, I think that would be overkill.


Yeah, we just need to be able to tell the difference between the top level DIE we hand out with no children and the one that has all the abilities.

Yes, that is the case. No top level DIE can be a struct, union or class. Only a compile unit, type unit or partial unit.
