If I understand right, many components of Eclipse are moving towards
using the "Versatile Hierarchy" facility, which seems to be a general
mechanism for displaying structured information.  I don't understand
the details very well, but would it be useful to have an XML- or
MI-like form for describing hierarchies that Eclipse could just
display without understanding the details much?  GDB could stay
ignorant of the details; it would simply pass through XML received
directly from the target.

That XML could be annotated to connect it with things GDB does know
about, like SPEs, threads, and the like.
