Any existing frontend that is using -add-inferior will be expecting to
see "inferior" there in order to extract the inferior id. It's quite natural
that other frontends authors hadn't even noticed the 'reality vs documentation'
divergence, as -add-inferior resulting in "inferior" borders on
so-obvious-who-needs-to-check-docs-anyway output. IMNSHO, it's better to
just document the over-3-year-old current behavior.
