Grump, grump, grump. Being a lazy person, I will give the following
justification for my naming scheme: you're proposing to change the PR
naming category so that that PR would turn into c++574. (Or do
existing closed PR's not get moved?) So it would make more sense to
call it gdb.c++/c++574.cc, which sounds silly: the whole directory is
about C++! And gdb.c++/gdb574.cc is only a little less silly, or
arguably even sillier: every single file in that directory, in its
parent, and in the parent of its parent is about GDB, so putting 'gdb'
in the name of a file is just plain old redundant. Whereas putting
'pr' in the name of a file isn't redundant at all.

Seriously, though, I'll change it to whatever name you want for
consistency's sake; but if that name involves the PR category, then we
might as well wate until the planned PR category change is completed.
