Yes, anything like that.  'maintenance <something>' is better.  There is 
a maintenance appendix in the documentation.

As an aside, on a todo list are add:

(gdb) maint info frame
	to print out additional information on the selected frame
(gdb) maint print frames [ <file> ]
	to print out information on all the frames

both will require additional per-frame methods.
