Doug> What does "generic MI client parser" mean in this context?
Right now MI parsing in the test suite is done in an ad hoc manner.
E.g., see mi_create_breakpoint.
It would be more robust if we had an MI parser in Tcl so that we could
parse the output as clients do.
As far as I know nobody is planning to actually do this though.
