Thanks.  The documentation change is approved, with the following
minor comment:

You said VISUALIZER must evaluate to an _object_ that GDB will call,
but now you are saying that the _function_ must return something.
Suggest to say "When called, this object must return ...", to avoid
confusion about how did we get to a function.

OK with that change.
