'dq' command behavior has changed

git bisect suggests this was introduced in 2a09b30

Consider a simple program:

// main.c
char some_array[8] = "XXXXXXXX";
void main() {}

Built and run with:

$ gcc -ggdb main.c
$ gdb a.out
pwndbg> start

Previously, dq could dump memory at the some_array symbol:

After 2a09b30 it can’t, unless an ampersand is supplied before the symbol name:

Perhaps the original behavior was unintended, but I thought this was worth mentioning.

@zachriggle @CptGibbon do u still think its ok to bring back the old behavior?

I can’t speak for everyone but I imagine a lot of folks use pwndbg because it is not similar to the stock GDB experience. If that means I can type less characters, or a command is more intuitive/simple to use, then I would rather keep that behavior even if it isn’t in keeping with the original GDB syntax.
