Sure, the list will only get longer.  In the long run it might be a good
idea to add an argument to add_cmd and related functions.

Incidentally, the patch I've presented for bt isn't suitable for inclusion
as it uses:

+ 
+   if (restart)
+     continue_command ("&", 0);

If the user interrupts with 'bt' during a step, he presumably wants the step to
finish.  I'm not sure how easy it is for Gdb to jump the inferior back into
it's old state of execution.
