I don't think it needs special "dealing" as I assume that existing 
frontend parsers are just robust enough to accept such cases.

Changing the nesting of structures on the other hand usually
needs adjustment to the interpretation of the parsed structure.

I am not scared of adding yet another ten lines to find out which
kind of output the user's choice of GDB produces and to handle
both versions, I just find it not particular convenient.
