Description
Sometimes certain bits within a register have a special meaning that is not known to the debugger, and the user would want to have a direct visual on them. In such cases, it would be great if we can allow the user to define a pseudo or custom register by supplying the name and expression to compute its value.
This is relevant to https://github.com/Vector35/debugger/issues/230 and https://github.com/Vector35/debugger/issues/466

Research direction
Start by reviewing the debugger API surfaces for register definitions and the related issues #230 and #466. Clarify how a user-supplied name and expression should be represented and evaluated. Done means users can create a pseudo register through the API and obtain a direct visual of its computed value.
