I think I need to discuss the principle of this patch internally with
the other AdaCore GDB engineers, in particular with Paul Hilfinger.
I think that this might impact Ada, because, when we do symbol lookups,
we need to search all psymtabs. Paul knows a lot more about this than
I do, so he should be able to evaluate the real impact a little better.
I will look at it as well.
