I would like to put this in as a prerequisite for the Python pretty-printing support. Without this, it is difficult to manipulate some types by name, e.g.: http://sourceware.org/ml/archer/2008-q4/msg00219.html We've been using this on the Python branch, and a couple others, for a while without ill effects; though Jan did find a bug and supplied this additional fix: http://sourceware.org/ml/archer/2009-q1/msg00383.html If there are no comments I will check this in.
