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
