I was experimenting with generic prefix commands, e.g. "verbose".  I
think of them as adverbs.  This is just food for thought, I am ok with
any of these approaches.

import gdb

class VerboseCmd(gdb.Command):
    def __init__(self, name):
        gdb.Command.__init__(self, name, gdb.COMMAND_SUPPORT)

    def invoke(self, arg, from_tty):
        if gdb.parameter('verbose'):
            save = 'on'
        else:
            save = 'off'
        gdb.execute('set verbose on', to_string = True)
        try:
            gdb.execute(arg, from_tty)
        finally:
            gdb.execute('set verbose ' + save, to_string = True)

VerboseCmd('verbose')
