Perhaps I could turn that question round. Which annotations are you planning
to keep?
I think annotations can be split into two categores:
- events
These let GDB notify the GUI of internal state changes.
- markups
These try to make CLI output, intended solely for a human, machine parsable.
The events remain (target changed, breakpoint created, ....). The
markups are removed (*-{begin,end})
