We talked on #gcc today about perhaps using __attribute__((artificial))
and then having DW_AT_artificial be used for this purpose.

Another possibility here was to have the artificial flag set up
some "skip"s by default, then the user could undo them if desired.

This came up because Johnathan Wakely wanted to make it so that,
by default, you wouldn't step into std::move.

That's bug 12940.
