The attached two patches are rebased MI ones. The first is cleanup,
and I'll commit it shortly. The second one is the real one. Since both
patches touch just MI code, this is RFC, not RFA. The second patch
has a couple fixmes that I'll address later, and needs doc that I'll
also write as the other Python patches are in.

Here's an example session:

(gdb)
-var-set-type-visualizer std::vector.* VectorVisualizer
^done
....
~"11\t  std::vector<int> v;\n"
....
~"12\t  v.push_back (7);\n"
^done
(gdb)
-var-create V * v
^done,name="V",numchild="1",value="{...}",type="std::vector<int,std::allocator<int> >",thread-id="1"
(gdb)
-var-list-children V
^done,numchild="0"
(gdb)
next
&"next\n"
~"13\t  v[0] = 11;\n"
^done
(gdb)
-var-update --all-values V
^done,changelist=[{name="V",value="{...}",in_scope="true",type_changed="false",children=[{name="V.0",exp="0",numchild="0",value="7",type="int",thread-id="1"}]}]
(gdb)

The .gdbinit I use is also attached.
