We will consider revisions to the DWARF standard starting mid-year.

The proposal is somewhat vague.  I'm personally unclear
why there is a need for an new TAG.  Saying Stabs does something
one way so DWARF should do the same is not persuasive.

Is there a reason why using DW_TAG_entry_point doesn't work?
Would an attribute work as well?

In general, proposals which have been implemented are preferred.
