Pedro> (e.g., quits, or some other error thrown while reading debug Pedro> info or printing something). I think I am going to drop this. I have been considering changing symbol-loading for some multi-inferior cases, and it seems to me that if a front end really needs to know about whether symbols are loaded, then we should be emitting new notifications for changes in this area. So I think we should instead just document that symbols-loaded is emitted for compatibility but is not actually useful. Tom
