  /// Classes reserve the first indexes for base classes that have
  /// members (empty base classes are omitted), and all members of the
  /// current class will then follow the base classes.
  ///
  /// Pointers differ depending on what they point to. If the pointer
  /// points to a simple type, the child at index zero
  /// is the only child value available, unless \a synthetic_allowed
  /// is \b true, in which case the pointer will be used as an array
  /// and can create 'synthetic' child values using positive or
  /// negative indexes. If the pointer points to an aggregate type
  /// (an array, class, union, struct), then the pointee is
  /// transparently skipped and any children are going to be the indexes
  /// of the child values within the aggregate type. For example if
  /// we have a 'Point' type and we have a SBValue that contains a
