GDB currently has many issues with optimized code where it could behave better
(even for watchpoints etc.). It is enough when the feature is useful
for "-O0 -g" code.

OK, fine with that, so that neither "btrace list" nor "record list" will
exist, in the favor of "reverse-step".

OK.

I still find "record list-functions" and "record list-instructions" more clear
than "record backtrace" and "record disassemble". Particularly as there is
the "list" word.

Sorry for "bikeshedding" it, additionally so late, I do not want to keep this
discussion longer anymore.
