This change alone is so small it's harmless.  More generally though, it's less
about doing more complicated things with varobjs and more about not duplicating
effort.  Next time André finds that his tooltips don't work as he would wish,
he will submit another patch for -data-evaluate-expression.  If others are
using variable objects they will see no benefit unless they create a similar
patch.  And the same holds the other way around.
