Projects provide their own .gdbinit files (gcc/gdbinit.in, emacs/src/.gdbinit)
for examining the project's specific data structures.

For example for GList (Gnome glib) it cannot work fully automatically as its
->data is void *.

Maybe a pretty printer could have a hint if one wants to print just a single
element or the whole list?

Or if printing a pointer (and not curretly implemented *pointer) it could
print the whole list?  That may be confusing, though.
