        * gdb.texinfo: Update copyright.
        (Objective-C): "methodName" typeo fixed.  Add @code/@var markup   
        around names, as appropriate.  Minor syntax cleanup of
        _NSPrintForDebugger explanation.  Two spaces after periods.
        GDBN used instead of lit. "gdb".  Index entries added for
        print-object and _NSPrintForDebugger.  @noindent added in one spot.
