sal2 is fine with me too.

There might actually be a bug here, that I still haven't managed
to investigate:

 http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00066.html

(but don't let this block your patch.)

Michael wanted sal2 too, so sal2 it is.

Curiously, we have very few instances of struct symtab_and_line
that aren't called "sal" or don't have "sal" in their name:

 $ grep "struct symtab_and_line[ \t]\+[A-Za-z_]\+;" * -rn | grep -v sal
 linespec.c:1910:  struct symtab_and_line val;
 linespec.c:2000:  struct symtab_and_line val;
 mi/mi-cmd-file.c:36:  struct symtab_and_line st;
 symtab.c:1923:  struct symtab_and_line val;

But they're all close enough.  Interestingly, sal2 is the first.  :-)

$ grep sal2 * -rn
*empty*

Sals are funny creatures.
