It might be better to do this in cli-script.c in the same way as
$arg0-$arg9 and $argc. That way it would always be up to date and would
be read-only.
Of course these substitutions currently only work within control
structures, such as if, while or user-defined commands. (Hmmm, a quick
test also shows they crash GDB if not used within a user-define.)
It would also not clutter 'show conv'.
Just a thought.
