I can place a warning in set_language(). But I think the warning should
only be printed once. Opinions? 

I'm also wondering how useful such a warning is going to be. I think
that the new language name, "minimal", is pretty clear as to what
capabilities it provides (or doesn't thereof)... Since GDB clearly
prints the new language name when auto-switching, I don't think there is
any risk of confusion anymore.
