FWIW the: "python 
gdb.libstdcxx.v6.printers.register_libstdcxx_printers(None)" step is not 
necessary as the git upstream version of printers.py still does this 
step for you. So when you import it, it automatically registers the 
lookup-function. I believe the copy of printers.py in the rawhide Fedora 
rpm (which uses hooks) is where this was removed.  At least this is the 
case for me.

It sure will be nice when this is all automatic, whether it is one 
statement or two  ;)
