------- Additional Comments From fche at redhat dot com  2008-08-15 22:28 -------
Another possible syntax for this is inspired by the $$vars introduced
recently.  Expanding struct contents could be represented like so:

    $var$  =>  a string representation of $var's fields: like
               0xfoo
          or   {.foo=0xbeef, .zoo=0xp00}

To control the depth of nesting expansion, we could add extra "$"s at the end:

    $var$$ =>  {.foo=0xbeef, .bar={.so=0x44, .po=0x848}}

This could compose with the $$ variables too:

  $$vars$  =>  var1=0xdead var2={.foo=0xbeef, .zoo=0xp00}
