I want to standardize it so whenever GDB prints a namespace identifier, 
we always use the same syntax that a user should use to find namespaces. 
This has the handy side-effect that, if we decide to use the convenience 
variable internally for something else (say, when printing a backtrace) 
there is no special handling, we'll only need to print the actual conv 
var string.
