Maybe I'm missing something important here (in fact, most probably I
am), but let me turn the table and ask: why do we need that @entry
qualifier at all?  Why not just show the name of the parameter itself
in the backtrace and let users evaluate `p' in expressions to mean
that value which GDB can recover under this series of patches?
