[Dwarf-discuss] Request to add new constant for V Language

[Cary Coutant]

Thanks, I'll add this. We are still assigning DW_LANG constants, so I'll
assign one.

Can you provide a reference for the V language?

Please also let me know the default lower bound for arrays (0?) and which
versioning scheme you'll want to use.

V languge currently relies on transpilation to C, but for better debugging experience we are working currently on direct native support. Therefore to identify new language I propose adding:
