It's only a convenience. I find it easier to write "Varobj::create foo"
than "-var-create foo * foo"; I can never remember the whole syntax
without looking it up.
I am concerned with the legibility of the tests and when people may be
reproducing parts of it by hand. The "-var-create foo * foo" is better
for that.
The other commands generate a very simple output that is easy to create
an pattern for and it is also easier for human interpretation (same
situation as above).
The "pattern" part is cool though. Why don't you submit just that for
now?
