Without wanting to get into a lengthy discussion, I have to disagree with this:
keeping things modular is important, and one of the cleanest ways is keeping
dependencies single directional whenever possible. Modularity may not be the
goal of keeping things modular, but extensibility and maintainability are.

Ok, I got into the 'lengthy discussion' mode, but I quickly deleted what I
started typing (about functional interface in gdb, MI using it blah blah...)...
