Bleh. But that's what the 'q' escape is for. IMO, all experimental
protocol extensions should be using 'q'; likewise, GDB should never
use 'q' itself.
You mean like with qOffsets, that's been standardly issued by GDB for
years? :-)
Actually, I don't ever remember hearing that 'q' was supposed to be
experimental, and the existing docs don't seem to say so either. At
this point we would have to pick a different char I think, and be very
disciplined about not allowing any usages of it into the standard
sources, so that it really can be for experimentation.
In general, we have a sizeable documentation gap with the remote
protocol; it's become so ubiquitous it ought to have its own RFC... :-)
