It turns out [unfortunatly off list discussion] that for pascal there's
an outstanding request to disable this feature anyway!
For the feature to ``work'', GDB must be capable of both correctly
printing, and correctly parsing the natural language values and for
Pascal that's not possible ($<hex> clashes with $<register>).
We can go ahead with this change,
Andrew
