The two uses of `gdb.Value' so close to one another and meaning two
different things might confuse the reader.  Is it really important to
make the point that the address attribute is itself a `gdb.Value'?  If
not, I'd suggest to rephrase:

  If the @code{gdb.Value} object is addressable, this read-only
  attribute holds its address.

Thanks.
