We're only talking about dynamic varobjs here, which the MI user must
explicitly request.  Checking a dynamic varobj for "{...}" has always
been wrong, since they were first introduced.

Looking at this for non-dynamic varobjs... well, I wouldn't do that, but
it isn't relevant.

As far as I know the documentation is correct.
