Some background for the benefit of everyone who may not be aware of the genesis of the DWARF v5 accelerator tables:

DWARF v5 accelerator tables are a direct evolution of the "Apple" accelerator tables that are implemented in LLVM (after going through the standardization process and being reworked/generalized there), so we hope that the implementation can at least share some common interfaces with the existing Apple accelerator table implementation where this makes sense.
