One way we could try to solve our problems with very large arrays is to
support partially read in values using lval_funcs, sort of like we do
for optimized out pieces.  We could just read the bits we actually use
in some way.  I think this isn't quite as simple as optimized out
pieces, though, because we'd have to change GDB to recognize that a
value's contents may come in segments.
