This is true. But I have to say that I am still a little unsure
whether this CLI feature will actually be used, should we implement it.
Can we wait for an actual request before we do so, especially for
a query about GDB/MI when in CLI mode? That way, we then know that
we provide something people actually need. If you know you would
use that feature now, then of course that qualifies...

I think this feature can also be treated independently from
the new GDB/MI command. Adding this new feature wouldn't affect
this patch, I would think.
