I followed rather a rule that the pf_prefix component must never contain
a space.  This way the resulting pf_prefix is a list and one can iterate it by
each appended component / remove it etc.  But I have never used it that way.

Also maybe the non-spaced output is better to read, one easily sees the nested
component; but maybe the opposite is true and one can just check ':'s, YMMV.

As new testcase are in many cases created by copying existing ones the wrong
still will be spreading in the future.  Sure there are many cases of such
leftover old styles in the GDB codebase.

I would also prefer reindentation.
