I understand the urge to avoid unnecessary work. That is why I said
_minimal_ documentation. I find it hard to believe that nothing can
be said about this feature that will not change based on further
discussion. Unless all that discussion happens before the patches are
committed to the GDB CVS, in which case I have no problems waiting
till then. But whenever the patches are actually committed, I will
object to doing so without some minimal documentation that describes
its usage.
