Cool. I never considered my work in any way a finished product. It was
intended to serve as  a rough draft / proof of concept of how a
general purpose scripting interface could work using MI. I had hoped
to get more feedback than I did, but I am happy to hear that it ended
up serving its purpose.

I look forward to seeing this functionality in GDB.
