We're running in circles. I've asked about possible patch, but instead got
lengthy replies about how parsing value field is bad idea. To repeat -- I
started this thread because *I* want to avoid parsing that field.
To make an even more specific question, I propose to:
- Remove type prefix from output of -data-evaluate-expression and
-var-evaluat-expression
- Add 'type' field to the output of -data-evaluate-expression
Is this OK with everyone?
