So you now think that it is not a good idea to display "integer*4"
instead of "int4"? I thought you previously agreed with me that the
former was better, from the user point of view.
GDB is a debugger. If it were a program to display DWARF-2 debug
info, then it should have displayed exactly what is written in there.
But as a debugger, it should display something that is sensible to the
user of a debugger, i.e. it needs to speak the programming language of
the source, not DWARF.
