[patch]: proposed NEWS entry for Modula-2

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi,

here is a proposed patch for an updated section to gdb/NEWS:

diff -r1.188 NEWS
61a62,70
> * Improved Modula-2 language support
> 
> GDB can now print most types in the Modula-2 syntax.  This includes:
> basic types, set types, record types, enumerated types, range types,
> pointer types and ARRAY types.  Procedure var parameters are correctly
> printed and hexadecimal addresses and character constants are also
> written in the Modula-2 syntax.  Best results can be obtained by using
> GNU Modula-2 together with the -gdwarf-2 command line option.
> 

regards,
Gaius

Thanks Eli - just checking that I can check this into both the head cvs
and the 6_5 branch - using the following ChangeLog

If the code is on both head and branch (I didn't track the discussions
close enough to know, sorry), then yes, okay.
