It isn't necessary, just like register convertible and register 
raw/virtual size; .... that go before it, also were not necessary.  And 
now all these years later, GDB is still yet to expunge.

Until someone does the right think - add support for values scattered 
across registers and memory - hacks should be confined to architecture 
specific code.
