I needed to read this text and the one in NEWS several times before I figured out what is meant here. How about this alternative instead: If your front end cannot yet migrate to a more recent version of the MI protocol, you can nevertheless selectively enable specific features available in those recent MI versions, using the following commands: @table @code @item -fix-multi-location-breakpoint-output Use the output for multi-location breakpoints which was introduced by MI 3, even when using MI versions 2 or 1. This command has no effect when using MI version 3 or later. @end @table Otherwise, the documentation parts are OK. Thanks.
