This probably isn't an issue here considering that there aren't any
other extensions in dwarf_line_number_content_type yet. But anyway the
approach taken here is basically what's already done in many other
cases. And while I think there have been some clashes, normally this
isn't a problem because the various open projects coordinate a bit.
Supporting both in-development and final published values is also fairly
common.
thanks,
Tom
