Emacs communicates with GDB through a pseudo-tty.  How does Eclipse
do it?

This also seems contrary to what Daniel Jacobowitz has previously told me,
perhaps about Eclipse more generally.  CDT has a console and I thought he
assured me that there was interest in developing that functionality.

That might be a good idea but this request isn't for Emacs on trunk, which has
now migrated fully to GDB/MI, but for the release branch which still uses
annotations.  It's just a small request for a slight change to the existing
command "record stop" or, as Hui suggested, adding a special CLI command
to stop recording that doesn't need confirmation.
