Don't suppose anyone had time to look at this?

I don't know if there's any active GDB maintainers, right now, who are
interested in the remote protocol.  Or e.g. stub developers who are
interested, and reading this list.  As I said, I have a whole bundle
of upcoming proposed additions to the remote protocol; I do my best
to design them intelligently and compatibly, and I will document them
prettily and post them for review, but the benefit's much lessened
if there's no one interested in reviewing them :-)

I intend to turn this particular example into a more thought-out
proposal this week.  And if I'm really lucky, I'll have the
target-defined features proposal ready this week also; but don't
hold your breath, it might be next week.
