 Currently, the debugger is primarily oriented towards C/C+++, and as such
 presumes that the starting function will always be main(). Unfortunately,
 this isn't necessarily the case for other language ABIs such as
 {Free}Pascal. In the case of a debug executable, this can potentially be
 inferred from DWARF (still needs to be investigated in the spec), but a
 mechanism needs to be investigated in order to generally guess/infer the
 target language, and consequently, the correct start symbol.
