How about this?
* When completing in expressions, gdb will attempt to limit
completions to allowable fields, where appropriate. For instance,
consider:
# struct example { int f1; double f2; };
# struct example variable;
(gdb) p variable.
If the user types TAB at the end of this command line, the available
completions will be "f1" and "f2".
