Hi,

I noticed a coupled typos while reading this, probably mine...

This should read something like:

/* The base type of all fields.  */

This used to be called int_field_s, before the
'uiout->field_int -> uiout->field_signed' rename.

Should now read:

/* A signed integer field, to be passed to %pF in format strings.  */
