Okay so here is a skeleton:

// this takes care of the creation of Value object
public class ValueFactory{

    public static ValueFactory getFactory(Proc){
       // check cache and return a ValueFactory
    }  

    private ValueFactory(Proc proc){
      
    }

    public Value getValue(String name, Frame currentFrame){
        ...
    }

    public Value getValue(DwarfDie die){
        ...  
    }

}

// this is just speculation but can be put either in Value it self or in 
a ValuePrint object
...
public String printValue(Value value){
   
}
...

How well will the above work for hpd, stack examination, source window, 
DisplayVariable, an any other interested parties :)
