Then I suggest the following modified wording of that paragraph:
Although called @dfn{agent expression}, because they originally
referred to the target-side debugging agent (@pxref{Agent}), these
expressions can be used in conjunction with many unrelated
@value{GDBN} features, such as expressions used in tracepoints for
data collection, expressions used in breakpoint condition evaluation,
etc. Note that the expressions may also denote registers and objects
in memory---structures or arrays, for example---whose values
@value{GDBN} should record.
