### Displays

When GDB is told to display something using the `display` command, the results of the display are annotated:

         ^Z^Zdisplay-begin
         number
         ^Z^Zdisplay-number-end
         number-separator
         ^Z^Zdisplay-format
         format
         ^Z^Zdisplay-expression
         expression
         ^Z^Zdisplay-expression-end
         expression-separator
         ^Z^Zdisplay-value
         value
         ^Z^Zdisplay-end

where number is the number of the display, number-separator is intended to separate the number from what follows for the user, format includes information such as the size, format, or other information about how the value is being displayed, expression is the expression being displayed, expression-separator is intended to separate the expression from the text that follows for the user, and value is the actual value being displayed.
