Interesting -- _ref_offset seems even less suggestive of .debug_info!
While I agree that _ref_info will not jump out at you as refering to
.debug_info before you see it explained, I doubt you would ever forget
it once you do see the explanation...
I think I am hearing that you agree that _ref_addr is worse yet, and that
it is desireable to rename it to something else, right? So what remains
is to pick the new name? Is that fair?
