We can do both. I don't want to have 16 ERROR's in my face while
we are figuring this out.

Aw, foo! That's what's different about gdb.cp/*.exp. All the examples
in gdb.cp/*.exp are like:
{ x = 100, y = 101 }
Both the sourceware version of TCL (which is based on 8.4.1) and
the version I use of TCL (8.4.6) have code for {NUMBER} and
{NUMBER, NUMBER} modifiers.
I suspect there's some difference happening at the expect level
(5.26 versus 5.41).
Time to dive into the TCL source and throw in some fprintf's and stuff.
