Probably.  As I said, I try to do large projects roughly FIFO, and this
has been on my TODO list a lot longer than DW_OP_piece has.

If you're interested in DW_OP_piece support for 6.1, I can certainly
look into it after this is done.  It will probably be less work.  I
don't want to try to juggle two large dwarf2 projects at the same time,
though.
