I wonder if it would be useful to add something like this to the GDB tree. Maybe not this specific implementation, but something with the same purpose. Put a python wrapper on it and ... cool. OTOH, it'd be sort of like the new python scripting support but inverted (python <--> gdb instead of gdb <--> python, if that makes any sense). Is it lamentable that we have both gdbmi and (soon) a real scripting interface with no real commonality? Just thinking out loud ... I don't have an answer.
