Let me try again. Maintaining and testing this in gdb is extra work.
Maintaining and testing this in frontends is extra work as well, and GUIs
are less suitable for automatic testing.

Do you prefer to have this maintained and tested in frontends because that
means less work for you, or because it's more technically reasonable, in
your optinion?
