FWIW this latter approach makes sense to me. One idea behind the Python
extension work is that project-specific things can be shipped with that
project, and don't need to be in gdb itself.

Hi Tom,
This command is intended for user space debugging while drgn is currently used
to debug only the kernel. Most user space developers are unaware that such a tool
even exists. If this script were part of drgn, only a few people would know about
its existence. If shipped as a part of GDB, it would be exposed to the regular GDB users
who would actually debug multi-threaded user space programs.
Thank you,
Alexandra
