        Such errors are conceptually the same as assert, but in GUI
        we can't use regular assert, and Q_ASSERT, which only prints
        a message, is not suitable either. We need to break processing,
        and the higher-level code can report "Internal parsing error",
        or something.

    /** Base class for all MI values.
        MI values are of three kinds:
        - String literals
        - Lists (indexed by integer)
        - Tuple (set of named values, indexed by name)

        The structure of response to a specific gdb command is fixed.
        While any tuples in response may omit certain named fields, the
        kind of each item never changes. That is, response to specific
        command can't contains sometimes string and sometimes tuple in
        specific position.

        Because of that static structure, it's almost never needed to query
        dynamic type of a MI value. Most often we know it's say, tuple, and
        can subscripts it. 

        So, the Value class has methods for accessing all kinds of values.
        Attempting to call a method that is not applicable to specific value
        will result in exception. The client code will almost never need to
        cast from 'Value' to its derived classes.

        Note also that all methods in this class are const and return 
        const Value&. That's by design -- there's no need to modify gdb
        responses in GUI.
