importance or even desirability of some of the items.

START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED need never be defined to 2, since that
is its default value. Clean this up.
Perhaps "i source" should take an argument like that of "list".

unpack_double() does not handle IEEE float on the target unless the host

an error.

GDB does four ioctl's for every command, probably switching terminal modes
to/from inferior or for readline or something.

Remove all references to:

investigate "x/s 0" (right now stops early) (I think maybe GDB is
using a 0 address for bad purposes internally).

Check that unmatched RBRAC doesn't abort().
Make a watchpoint which contains a function call an error (it is
broken now, making it work is probably not worth the effort).

New test case based on weird.exp but in which type numbers are not
renumbered (thus multiply defining a type). This currently causes an
