Description ivan 2010-05-27 11:17:11 UTC 
gdb-lite and dbxgui do balloon eval slightly differently.

dbxgui's logic is in EvalAnnotation.
It picks lines and offsets or selections and passes them on
to the engine. The dbx engine passes the info on to dbx
whcih does any parsing. The gdb engine calls back to
EvalAnnotation.extractExpression().

gdb-lite implements this in ToolTipAnnotation and relies on
the lexer and access to the whole document.
