>Description:
Very often I need to set watch points on integers
specified by memory location, not by expression.

Instead of
   watch expression

I have to do:
   p  expression
   p  &expression
   watch *(address-of-expression printed above)

It would be great to have a shorthand command for that,
a command that says:
   watch_at_memory_location expression

If that is possible, it would be very helpful.
