I think it was a diplomatic solution to a technical problem.
PRINT_SIMPLE_VALUES only makes sense to me for -stack-list-locals.  Even
this case will be unimportant when "-var-list --locals" is implemented.

Ah!, the Emacs solution; a switch for everything.  I don't like it.  This
would mean that the frontend end would have to work out which versions of
GDB have this option and which don't.
