Trying to mimic insight would be asking for trouble.  Insight's 
overreliance on GDB internals means it breaks when ever GDB improves its 
own design c.f., diassembler cleanups.

Remember, part of the long term MI road map is to get it implemented as 
a thin vineer each command having a 1:1 correspondance to a published 
interface.
