IIUC we are creating this new command because "info proc" was initially
designed to provide information about a live process, right? So what if
we change the "design assumptions" of it? What if "info proc" could be
used to display info about a process, whether it's running or not?

Ok, just in case you don't agree with what I proposed above, what do you
think if this new command (to which "info proc map" would be aliased) to
be called "info mapping"? Don't know if it's a good name, but I tried to
make it represent both "info proc map" and "info core map" :-).
