Not to dis your work (and I still would like to see the code!...),
but sooner or later we'll have to use the full cpplib functionality.
The gold standard for GDB expression evaluation is that it pass the
"cut-n-paste" test, where you can take any fragment of source code,
and if GDB can get a valid expression out of it, it will evaluate
the expression correctly.  For now, until somebody has time to pull
cpplib into GDB, it suffices to have both GCC and GDB people aware
of the goal, and to account for the possibility when doing other
hacking activities.  (Just the mechanics of using cpplib in GDB will
be interesting - we will probably need cpplib to be a sibling of
libiberty for instance).
