Well, I thought that Pedro hadn't had a chance to expose his arguments,
yet, and maybe they might have affected your point of view?

For myself, I'm happy either way, even if I tend to indeed prefer #3
(now). I think Pedro had a soft preference also, but I will let him
confirm. In this case, you are the Maintainer of the GDB documentation,
so I would tend to give you more weight in that decision.
Based on this reply, do I understand correctly that you still think
we should remove these commands from the manual?
