Yes, either this or, as you mentioned in another note, passing the style
directly, could be done. I suppose I tend to lean more toward the
semantic approach than the style approach, because maybe having some
kind of "type" attached to a field could be useful in other situations.
Be sure to read this as well:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-10/msg00107.html
It presents another alternative -- one I rejected but maybe it can be
rehabilitated.
These questions about the overall approach and the API are the main
things to resolve up front, since they have the highest cost to change.
