I missed that in the various distractions that kept me from using an
up-to-date version of GDB, but now that I came across it the hard way the
bright pink version line hurts my eyes and disturbs me. Setting:

set style enabled off

in ~/.gdbinit does not make any change to it, so I find it a functional
regression. I'm sure there were important reasons to make this change,
but can we please get it under user control somehow?
