The changes to gdb.texinfo are approved, but please correct one minor
problem:
> + @tab @code{q}@code{Symbol:}@var{SYMBOL_FILE_NAME}
Please write the arguments of @var{} in lower case. They will be
converted to upper case by makeinfo, but in the printed manual @var is
typeset with a special font which makes it stand out without upcasing
the text. (There are several other places which use @var{FOO}.)
