The protocol appears to overlaps two separate but related operations -
shared library load and symbol load. If I remember right, a symbol can
also be loaded using things like ``(gdb) symbol file''.  Is the shared
library notification even needed and should this be tied to the shared
library hook?

What happens if the target program has no shared libraries?  Will the
target still get an oportunity to request a symbol?

Could a target encounter a situtation where it needed symbol values
before it could report back a program status?  The problem is very much
like the input/output cases where the target is wanting to nest a query
request within the normal packet flow.  Should input/output and this
query all use the same mechanism?
