This seems to mean that extra quoting is needed for the format string.
Like you can't send just:

-break-insert -s "\"1\n\""

It seems like you have to send:

-break-insert -s "\"1\\n\""

But an alternative is to keep the MI interface simple and "MI-like" --
meaning using the quoting and argument parsing convention already
defined by MI, one of its big benefits over the CLI -- and let gdb
handle the requirements of the protocol and/or its own internals. That
is, send:

-break-insert -s "1\n"

... and gdb can rewrite that format string to whatever is needed.
