I've often wished for this feature as a user of gdb.

My vote: yes, provided that it doesn't systemically hose the test
suite. There are some tests that explicitly check that repeated
commands work and it's fine to update those. But I am gun shy of
readline and its mysterious refresh algorithms now and I don't want
gdb to start issuing "(gdb) ^M(gdb) p^M(gdb) pr^M(gdb) pri..."
style output.
