Are you fine with considering "system" to be the files with separate debug
info located from 'set debug-file-directory'?

Or do you require to have new 'set debug-file-directory-for-system' and
separate 'set debug-file-directory' (empty by default)?

"separate debug info files for the app being debugged" are those found at the
location of the binary itself or under its ".debug/" subdirectory?

If that is not enough that the new
option 'set debug-file-directory-for-system' vs.
application-specific 'set debug-file-directory' should satisfy it, I hope.

There is still also the option to just make the default:
	set filename-display absolute

For any larger application - which may involve the app separate debug info - it
is probably the best option anyway.

I just did not want to complicate debugging of small schoolbook applications
but maybe absolute filenames would be easier even in those cases, dunno.
