I would have preferred if instead of adding if, the code was modified to
look at

        value_type (var->value)

as opposed to

        var->type

The latter is the type of the varobj expression as it is in source program.
The former is the value we're actually showing. It makes sense to use
value_type (var->value) for all presentation purposes.
