That's kind of an interesting point. This is an entirely new kind of
entity: it's not a convenience variable, it's a convenience function,
or perhaps a new operator. I'm not sure where it should go. I'd
expect the primary description to be in "Expressions", in the part
that says, "GDB supports these operators, in addition to those common
to programming languages".
