This is a case explicitly depending on the feature A which was not present in
gdb-7.4.

There exist other possibilities how to achieve the same, such as
'-ix /etc/gdbinit2' or /etc/gdbinit defining macro R and macro S and then
using -iex R or -iex S.

I do not consider this example as worth introducing new command.

Thanks,
