Well, gdbint.texinfo is a less formal document, and its audience
is considerably smaller than for the regular manual.  On the
other hand, it saves valuable brain cells when we can use a
consistent set of rules for all of our documents, and who knows,
perhaps one day we'll want to follow GCC's example and put our
internals info into the regular GDB manual (hmmm, maybe not :-) ).

So I'd say we should start using @value{GDBN} and our other
doc conventions in gdbint.texinfo, converting things other as
time allows.
