This needs a patch to the documentation -- the search process is
documented.  This is ok with that addition.

One issue I think you will hit is that gdb is fairly aggressive about
calling check_typedef.  For instance, value_cast strips typedefs from
the target type; so I suspect that "p (Foo *) x" will not do the right
thing even with your patch.  This is just something we'll have to
(eventually) fix.

thanks,
Tom
