Yeah, that happens for the CLI too.
Phony output:

(gdb) print my_array
$1 = <my_array> {1, 2, 3}

The place where it is an improvement is printing things that aren't
obviously globals.  E.g., in gdb, printing an object that has a virtual
table, like objfile's struct sym_fns, will now nicely show the
definition.

My concern is more along the lines of whether this is going to mess up
the clients.
