Something like this:

In buffer I have something like 

    if (a == b->c->d) ...;

I would like to be able to "click" on "a" to see the value of a (in
message area), on "b" to see value of b, somewhere on "->c" to
see value of b->c and on "d" to see value of "b->c->d".

It could be enhanced to

   (((a) + b) + c)

so that clicking on the first ) shows value of (a), on second ) shows
value of ((a) + b) and on last ) shows value of whole expression.

Well, just sort of SWIM (show what I mean)  :-)


Alternatively:

A way to toggle gud tool-tips in the GUD toolbar (I don't want them
enabled all the time).

Make gud tooltips use gud-find-c-expr instead of
tooltip-identifier-from-point.
