We use similar DWARF for Pascal "schema types", BASIC string types, etc. on OpenVMS Itanium and we'll want to leverage all of these for our x86 target.  I suggested that the names be make more neutral or folded into the matching metadata tag.  I'll give inline comments next.


It may be possible to merge the C-language metadata with the Fortran metadata.  It just wasn't our objective.  It has been more helpful to keep them distinct.
