Blame compiler maintainers who rush forward developing their code
generators and support for advanced language features without making
sure their cool code is described in the debug info in enough detail
for the debugger to DTRT with it.  In any sane development shop, no
new compiler feature is released until the debugger supports it, and
the compiler and debugger teams cooperate and coordinate very closely.
