We describe the _state_ of GDB, not the actions which led to that
state.  So it would be better to reword like this:

  A new method 'arch_name' of the gdb.Frame class returns the name of
  the frame's architecture.

"Return", not "Returns", for consistency with other method
descriptions.

The documentation parts are OK with these changes.
