Thoughts? New chapter: ``Advanced Features''


Hello,

GDB is starting to accumulate a number of ``Advanced Features'' (aka 
obscure features).  Immediatly to mind are:

	-	tracepoints

	-	overlays

but other candidates would include:

	-	gcore

	-	that dump (yes, I know,
		I'm fixing some infrastructure)

I think that while such features are important they really done qualify 
for a separate chapter.  What do people think of creating a new chapter 
``Advanced Features'' and moving this stuff to there.  Could even 
structure this chapter using a fairly set style:

advanced features

	feature

		tutorial

		reference

	feature
		...

(I'm thinking that the more examples the better :-)

If we don't, I get the feeling that the GDB documentation will just 
continue to accumulate lots of small chapters (but then people might 
prefer that?).

Thoughts?  Eli?

Andrew
