Silly question: how are we supposed to emit debug info about sets? While
there are also some problems with gdb, in general gdb currently can
handle Pascal sets. Sets are part of DWARF-2 specification. Even if
gcc had provided a hook to emit front-end specific debug info it would
still be more total work then to have direct backend support.
