Hi Ludovic,

Can we have a a comment somewhere (either in the sources, or in
the commit log), of _why_ we do this?  E.g., is this for
performance, or for something else?  When it is safe?  Etc.
These are things I'm sure you've considered, and having them
written them would potentially save poor-future-gdb-hacker
from having to wonder/re-consider them down-the-line.  Thanks!  :-)
