What else is there?  Not a rhetorical question, I just don't see any
alternative.  Well, we could invent unique identifers "gdb-file-1186",
"gdb-file-1187".

Vladimir's original report is for communication from an IDE to GDB.
"Find the best match" and "ask the user" aren't very helpful; the IDE
needs to unambiguously specify what file it's already opened and is
showing to the user, in a way that GDB can understand precisely what
file is meant.  Absolute pathnames seem awfully convenient for that.

For a user typing "break foo.c:54" we've already agreed on a more
useful behavior - though no promises when it will be implemented!
