anyone know if anything strange is going on here that would prevent
trivial conversion to d?
The only thing I can think of is fully-qualified enums. The #define
ensures that you _don't_ have to fully qualify DW_TAG_invalid. But why
they would do this (considering C doesn't have this enum feature), I
don't know.

nor c++, right?
Even C++0x requires you to use 'enum class' for this effect. I assume
this is to cope with <some random compiler>'s craziness. But I have no
idea, really.
