[Bug gdb/11067] New: p <enum constant> should print the constant's value


$ cat test.c
enum E {
Val1,
Val2
};
int main() {
    enum E e = Val1;
    return e;
}

...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:6
6           enum E e = Val1;
(gdb) n
7           return e;
(gdb) p e
$1 = Val1
(gdb) p Val1
$2 = Val1
(gdb) p (int)Val1
$3 = 0


When I print a variable, printing the symbolic name for its value is right, but 
when I print the symbolic name, gdb should print its numeric value instead (or 
in addition).

There's an easy workaround, of course, but gdb should DTRT in the first place.
