There have been no proposals submitted to the DWARF Committee regarding
DW_LANG_C_plus_plus_03 since this language code was requested in Issue 120628.1:
http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=120628.1
Accordingly, the DWARF Committee has had no discussions about this code.

Issue 120628.1 mentions a need to distinguish between C++03 and other
versions of C++.  If you believe that DW_LANG_C_plus_plus_03 is not
necessary, I suggest that you discuss this with the submitter, Tom
Tromey, to understand why he believes that this is required.
