I agree that if GDB accepts commands in upper case, the ambiguous 
command message should work accordingly.  The message as it is, with an 
empty list, doesn't make sense.

I also noticed that tab completion was case sensitive, should that be 
fixed as well?

For example,

   (gdb) inf<tab><tab>

shows "inferior  info", but

   (gdb) INF<tab><tab>

shows nothing.  Should it show "inferior  info", or "INFERIOR INFO"?
