For completeness' sake, while my pedantic bit is flipped,
One premise of this particular comment is that it assumes one
particular definition of EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS. If E_A_S_E is
indeed intended to mean to avoid calling error() (which isn't
unreasonable), then that changes the premise.

To make progress here (and those who have worked on gdb longer
probably know the complete definition of E_A_S_E already - they take
it as a given - I can't) it would be nice to at least have a full and
correct definition of EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS at its definition site.
