If/when someone wants to add another scripting language to GDB, we will be
bitten by this issue. I can see that happening already. :-)

You're saying that the current patch is extensible to deal with that?

Also, changing subjects: it is important that this feature works on core files,
or at least is forward-compatible with such a feature. I think this needs to
be thought through before the patch goes in.

Apologies if any of this has already been answered on the thread or is obvious
to people who have been involved in the thread since the beginning.
