The new "pp" command in gud is no longer so dangerous...

How would that work?  The variable tool-bar-map is set locally in
gud-minor-mode so, as soon as you place the cursor in a buffer where
gud-minor-mode is nil e.g on an expression in a lisp file, the tool bar
reverts to the global one.

I could define it using gud-def so that it has a global binding e.g.

  (gud-def gud-pv "pv1 %e" "\C-v" "Print the value of the lisp variable.")

so that it's on C-x C-a C-v.  Is that any good?
