I was partly mistaken.
the command for setting a breakpoint expression, is ok => special chars 
(non printable) are quoted. And gdb accepts the overall expression with 
spaces, and has no problems with those spaces.

For the watch window it's different:

If I want to see the last 3 bits:
   SomeIntVar and 7

That does not work. But I can enter the same term into the watch window, 
with doublequotes and it will work
   "SomeIntVar and 7"

So for the watch window, quoting is still incomplete.
