--- Comment #1 from Josh Stone <jistone at redhat dot com> ---
There's a little ambiguity in the type domains, especially with "long".  At
least with a context $var it's somewhat clear that it's the target language's
"long", but with "foo:long" this isn't clear.

But now that I write this, I think that particular case doesn't really matter,
as they're just numbers and we widen it anyway.  So consider this comment just
a braindump of a dismissable concern.  Something like "string" might have been
more tricky, e.g. C++'s is shown without even the std namespace "$s:string",
but it can only be assigned as a pointer, or possibly a reference, so
"foo:string" should definitely be systemtap string.

Printing the dwarf type *in addition* seems like the safer choice, if we can
devise a way that doesn't itself look like a compound type.
