Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Good idea.  I'll give it a try.  It would only work when run from the
build directory -- but I think in general there isn't a great way to
solve this problem anyway.

I believe it is needed if your script uses anything from the gdb
module.

FWIW you could also make it a varargs-like function:

  def invoke (self, *vars):
    ...

Then users would call:

  $in_scope ("a", "b", "c")

IMO this is a bit more natural.

Also, I got rid of the strip() from my functions, on the theory that
users can just say what they mean :-)
