[lldb-dev] Python API: Evaluating commands with specified language

[Michail Pishchagin]

Yeah, only SBExpressionOptions was improved in June 2014, but SBCompileUnit.GetLanguage() was added very recently in November 2014 (r222189) and my second question was about that, and it's not yet in the latest Xcode 6.1.1.
