Any pointers to messages where such pushback could be seen? I'm
curious what could be the motivation.
Another possibility would be to have 2 commands: "info breakpoints"
which only shows one breakpoint for each user breakpoint, and "info
all-breakpoints", which shows all of them. We already have a
precedent for such an arrangement with "info registers" vs "info
all-registers".
Anyway, going to the maint-land is something I think we should avoid
in this case, as the breakpoints not shown by default are interesting
not only for GDB maintainers.
