Eli,

The distribution of maintainership per file breaks in certain cases.
One example is the CLI that is still scattered around (I need to spend
some more weekends collecting the pieces and moving them to gdb/cli).

As long you only touch things that affect the CLI command syntax,
command creation etc. without interfering with the actual
implementation, I still can give you the approval.

In the general case, it is always nice to see if the maintainer of the
file has some objection though, as he/she may have a better idea of how
something should be used or some other detail that requires a "field
expert" opinion.
This does not apply to your patch though. You are just giving extra
information to the CLI so it can do a smarter completion.

The exception would be the extra help lines you've added. They do
conform to the CLI requirements (first line format), so they are OK with
me. You're are Mr. Documentation :-), so I will not argue about the
help text. They either add information that is already in the manual or
that relate to the completion itself.

I am approving it. IMHO this should be enough in the specific case of
this patch.

Thanks for the patch.

Fernando

P.S.: I debug Insight with the CLI (ironic, isn't it? -- but just
imagine two sets of windows for the "top-gdb" and for the "inferior"
gdb), and I am a completion addict, so I am eager to use the
improvements.
