This is a several years lasting plan.  It was at least posted in:
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-07/msg00796.html

* It should be configurable.

  * One of the options should be to print just basename.so.
    The lines should not become needlessly long.

* IMO it should be before the function name so that one can copy-paste it as
  a linespec to "break" and other commands.
  But linespec should be able to parse "objectname:funcname" which it
  currently cannot.

And I was not sure how well will one parse "objectname:funcname" in linespec,
Keith Seitz is rewriting the linespec parser somehow.


Thanks,
Jan
