> Maybe DWARF needs a DW_FORM_data16.
Rather than one-plus to get data16 (soon we'd need data32, etc), I think you
should use DW_FORM_block1. If consumers make invalid assumptions, we shouldn't
change DWARF to compensate for that.
I first thought of suggesting that we add words to the effect that
DW_FORM_sdata and DW_FORM_udata can be used for non-integers. But if we did
that, we'd have to point out that LEB128 elides zero bytes at the high end, so
it's tricky to encode IEEE floats, etc., so I decided not to.
