While I agree at first look, on the other hand:

(A) It messes up pipelining.  You can't throw five commands at GDB at

(B) It makes parsing the output somewhat trickier.

Would it be helpful to have some general solution for this, presumably
involving completions (i.e. closures)?  Come back and answer the prompt
when you're ready?
