Re: [RFC] Let "gcore" command accept a suffix argument

> Would it be able to include the incr? "eval gcore foo.$a++"?

I do not think so, not as suggested by Tom, I believe.  The suggestion
is to expand convenience variables, not evaluate full-fledged
expressions.  The issue with full-fledged expressions is that you have
to recognize them and find where they start and end. But I think that
this would not be a serious limitation in practice, since the above
can be rewritten as:

  eval gcore foo.$a
  set $a = $a + 1
