What about this?

"Resumes the execution of the inferior program until a breakpoint is
encountered, or until the inferior exits. If the @samp{--reverse}
option is specified, resumes the reverse execution of the inferior
program until a breakpoint is encountered, or until the execution
reaches that start of the inferior. "

Here, I generalize the "inferior" so that if debugging on naked hardware, exit
really means the target rebooting or something like that.

And I cannot see that the code parses it either... so it will be fixed. I
apologize, but I am put as the messenger for a team effort...
