I just looked at the code. I knew there was a reason why I used add_symbol_file_command rather than symbol_file_add:
the string that comes back from the gdb server is in the form of a command line with identical format to what
add_symbol_file_command expects and what the user enters in a console window. I didn't think that it would be wise to
duplicate the code.

What do you think? Would you rather that I wrote parsing code - I don't mind.
