I have added it now in the attached patch. Eli should probably take
another look.

Are you referring to the debug methods patch? If yes, I do think this
patch relies on that patch. This is an independent feature which would
make writing debug methods simpler (IMO).

        Call overloaded operators to perform valid Python operations on
        struct/class values.
        * NEWS (Python Scripting): Add entry for this new feature.
        * python/py-value.c (valpy_binop): Call value_x_binop for struct
        and class values.

        testsuite/
        * gdb.python/py-value-cc.cc: Improve test case to enable testing
        operations on gdb.Value objects.
        * gdb.python/py-value-cc.exp: Add new test to test operations on
        gdb.Value objects.

        doc/
        * gdb.texinfo (Values From Inferior): Add description about
        performing valid Python operations on gdb.Value objects.
