   In theory these files can link to each other and form graphs, and

+  We'd like dwarflint to do things like checking each CU the abbrev
+  table of which I was able to read.  In fact dwarflint should check
+  even CUs that it has at least partial information about.  It could
+  bail out as soon as it hits invalid abbrev, or abbrev with unknown
+  attribute.  Even then it might give up its goal of validating
+  sibling references, and use them blindly to skip unknown portions.
+  Current check granularity makes this very awkward to express, I'll
+  have to rework how checks are defined and executed.
