Yeah, I agree; though I think safe mode should be the default and the
"-safe" command-line argument should only serve to disable
auto-load-local-gdbinit (or whatever the option will be called).
That way I can have auto-load-local-gdbinit by default for myself, but
also easily override it on the command line.
