Is there any MI command that does the same as "whatis".
The "-symbol-type" is not implemented and to use `-var-info-type' I need to
use "variable-objects", which is too much of refactoring.

What you see in the manual is what you get :-)

I assume you mean -symbol-list-types. Someone could implement that.
But varobj really is the way to go and it wouldn't be hard to do a
special-case of that:
-var-create OBJ * <symbolname>
-var-info-type OBJ
-var-delete OBJ

No, exactly "-symbol-type" which is documented as equivalent to "ptype".
