But my assertion is that stuff like what you've shown above simply isn't
important to handle.   What we need to look at are the common cases and I
haven't seen a strong argument that the common cases can't be handled by
gdb.


If we target only 99% of cases then sure GDB-side is enough.

Still the GDB side will be more code and IMHO at an inappropriate place.
I was tought + expect that in GNU world it does not matter where a feature is
implemented, it is more important to be implemented at the right place.

You're looking to add a lot of generality to this GDB feature, but I'mnot convinced that generality is ultimately going to be useful. Thus,I'm not sure that a right place exists at all.
