Re: Add fullname to breakpoint output

[Jim Ingham <jingham at apple dot com>]

To my mind, as long as you have "ui_out_text" sprinkled amongst the 
result accumulating statements in "core" gdb, you have CLI code 
embedded in the core gdb functionality.  After all, the "text" output 
was just a clever way to continue formatting stuff up for the CLI 
without polluting the MI output.  But having it there means command 
output can't be changed without potentially messing up the CLI output - 
the two are still intimately linked.

disasm.c has a bunch of ui_out_text calls.
