-@subheading Motivation for Variable Objects in @sc{gdb/mi}
-
-For the implementation of a variable debugger window (locals, watched
-expressions, etc.), we are proposing the adaptation of the existing code
-used by @code{Insight}.
-
-The two main reasons for that are:
-
-@enumerate 1
-@item
-It has been proven in practice (it is already on its second generation).
-
-@item
-It will shorten development time (needless to say how important it is
-now).
-@end enumerate
-
-The original interface was designed to be used by Tcl code, so it was
-slightly changed so it could be used through @sc{gdb/mi}.  This section
-describes the @sc{gdb/mi} operations that will be available and gives some
-hints about their use.
-
-@emph{Note}: In addition to the set of operations described here, we
-expect the @sc{gui} implementation of a variable window to require, at
-least, the following operations:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item @code{-gdb-show} @code{output-radix}
-@item @code{-stack-list-arguments}
-@item @code{-stack-list-locals}
-@item @code{-stack-select-frame}
-@end itemize
