Well, there is, but I don't think anyone would like it any better:

gdb_test {print foo} [format {%s %s} {.[0-9]* = \(short( int?) &\)} "@$hex: -1"] \
  {print foo test}

This is a common tcl thing to do, but, well, I'm not sure it's any better
for, how did someone put it? "beginners". (IMO, the "beginner" thing is a
cop out.)

Well, whatever. Let me know, and I will make any appropriate change
requested. Or I'll drop the whole thing and submit my additions without
the "cleanup".
