gdb understands me if I type `p argv[0]'.
It seems to me that if I highlight some text in gdbtk and ask it to
display it, it ought to do the right thing in a language-sensitive way.
The utility of watching is greatly reduced if I can only watch things
that are in the subset of all languages gdbtk understands. Probably
that amounts to raw variables and nothing else.
Or do I misunderstand?
Tom
