I was not suggesting extending the disassemble command to handle the
specifying of source lines as a way to address the issue being
addressed by "set disassemble-next-line|show-opcodes foo".  [One could
use the stop hook, but that gets tricky if one wants to start doing
multiple things in the stop hook.]  I was merely saying that extending
the disassemble command to handle source lines is A Good Thing.

That would be another way to go instead of
disassemble-next-line|show-opcodes, yes.
