I do.  I think this change subverts Michael's goal, which was to make
sure GDB only looks at the bits we think it should.  This requires an
absolute certainty in the bit pattern that gets into the program.  You
cannot be certain about this kind of things without actually putting
the bit pattern into the variable.
