// of ranges. The location for the value within those ranges is described as
// an opaque array of bytes (this is the DWARF expression which will evaluate

// In DWARF, simple variables that are always valid look like this:
//   DW_AT_location (DW_OP_reg5 RDI)

// Complicated ones with ranges look like this:

//     [0x00000000000ad6be,  0x00000000000ad6c8): DW_OP_reg2 RCX
//     [0x00000000000ad6c8,  0x00000000000ad780): DW_OP_reg14 R14
