--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
This is pretty easy to do for registers themselves, but
it may be more difficult if the register has children.
I didn't investigate that yet.

In the general case we'd have to extend the gdb pretty-printer
API to allow this.  This is something we've wanted for a
long time though.  But, while it's doable, it would be quite
some time before all the pretty-printers in the wild were
upgraded.
