Re: [RFA] Fix crash of convenience vars with typedefs.

This would be nice -- the wide character code relies on type names now,
for instance -- but most of gdb already eagerly strips typedefs.  E.g.,
look at value_cast, where the resulting value is not actually of the
type you pass in, but rather the type after stripping typedefs.
