Would it be enough if the type name were changed to "variant"? It

I think yes.
Does the attached patch work for DWARF with Lazarus? "ptype
variantvar" still shows tvardata, but "info variantvar" shows "static
VARIANT V;", and I don't know what the GDB MI will return for the
query that Lazarus uses.
the mi version of info var.. is not implemented in gdb, so lazarus
uses ptype var
So I guess for this case, when a TVarrec is returned we'll inspect
further using info.
It's also possible to create another definition of tvarrec with
"variant" as name.
In that case I think I prefer a full dwarf variant :)
It's just slightly less clean to implement. Also note
that "info var" takes a regular expression, so make sure to use "info
var ^varname$", otherwise you'll get info about a lot of unrelated matches.
:)
Thanks.
