The simple fix is to always print both the symbolic name and the decimal 
value:

That's a one-line change in c-valprint.c.  Trying to differentiate 
between those two cases looks like it would be significantly more difficult.

Would the one-line change do?  Or does the fix need to do exactly what 
the request says?
