Past mistakes? .debug_gdb_scripts isn't that old of a feature. Maybe we need more formal community-agreed-on conventions and rules for NEWS and docs. These things seem to be of a "shall be this way" flavor, and I wasn't expecting that. When I cut-n-paste from code I can usually tell what's expected, but I can't do that for NEWS/doc, and we should fix that. [Imagine if coding conventions changed like this.]
