You're the Modula-2 maintainer, so it's your call, but for what it's
worth, if you think the full DWARF implementation --- both the GCC and
GDB sides --- will take more than a few weeks, and if these unbounded
arrays are a reasonably widely used language construct, I'd counsel
you to go ahead and commit the current patch. The work is already
done; there's no reason to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
