Thanks for the idea.  I will give it a try.

This comment inspired me to take another look at the whole problem.

I actually do not much like stop-on-solib-events.  I think 'catch'
commands are better, because they offer the user more control: commands
at the stop point, "silent", conditions.

So now I am thinking that, while I may still add the notification in
some form, I will also resurrect "catch load" and "catch unload",
something like "catch load [REGEX] [if ...]"
