Point is that most values returend are generated by gdb. gdb is very C
oriented, and has limited knowledge of pascal types. For strings I
already display the contents, the same for dynarrays can be done to.
Properties are not possible to evaluate, simply because there is no
debuggin structure for it (so you cannot generate info).
With dwarf3 it is getting better, but the last time I checked, gdb
doesn't support all dwarf3 info.
