I think gdbpy_print_stack is mostly called in "internal" situations,
where printing something will mess up the output.

Ordinary commands and such that fail should convert the Python exception
to a gdb exception, leading to what you'd expect.

I might be misremembering.  Concrete examples would help.

I think it could be done.
We can always add more values for "maint set python print-stack".
