I am curious to know whether you would want to remove this macro in the
future. I don't mean that you should do it -- just more a question of
what direction to go. There are other macros like this too:
symfile_objfile, object_files, exec_bfd, ...

Also, I can't remember why I moved core_bfd to the progspace. Would it
be better to have it just be a member of the target? Or maybe in your
design these end up being basically equivalent, because core targets are
inherently single-process?
