It's a waste of time when they hide or obscure information I need, and I have to go in and change them. But I don't see this one having that effect; both the labeled and unlabeled forms show all the information there is. It's just a question of whether it's worth avoiding stuff like: (gdb) print pipe $2 = { [0] = 6, [1] = 7 } (gdb) in favor of: (gdb) print pipe $2 = { 6, 7 } (gdb)
