Just want to avoid the confusion that Agent > Expression is used in agent only. IMO, the main confusion is that you're calling the new thing "agent", which is a very generic term. We had been using in-process (debugging) agent (IPA) so far for the thing that is loaded in the inferior, which is I think is a bit more to the point. And I think users may well get confused by reading the bits in the docs that already talk about the in-process agent, and then this new section, which talks about an agent, but without connecting the dots. -- Pedro Alves
