Just want to avoid the confusion that Agent > Expression is used in agent only. 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.
