In truth I don't mind seven or eight digits. What makes it difficult for me
is if the output of the CLI commands constantly change. I know the answer is
GDB/MI but I'm (still!) hoping to get one release of Emacs out using
annotations.

I don't know the logic behind the change in disassemble but my concern is that
it will mean that others like "info frame" will change at some unspecified
time in the future. I realise that I have to expect CLI output to move
forward, I'm just trying to ensure it happens in a co-ordinated manner.
