Is this really how we intend to support operators? I would much rather 
have "print foo + 5" just work correctly. This seems to work now (with 
any gdb):

(gdb) list base::operator+
121	  base operator+ (base const& o) const // base::operator+
122	  { base b; b.foo_ = foo_ + o.foo_; return b; }
(gdb) p a
{_foo = 1; }
(gdb) p b
{_foo = 3; }
(gdb) p a + b
{_foo = 4; }

That seems to work for +, -, *, /. and % (the only ones I quickly 
tested). I have yet to write realcpp tests for all the various cases, 
but it might be very useful to start by doing this to scope out the work.
