Should I use that in @smallexample too? I didn't think it would
make sense, but let me know.

I wasn't really sure of that, because we're working on the performance
aspect too.  We think we've improved a little bit already.  But on the
other hand, it's true that the only real solution to ultimate performance
is through the use of pure DWARF, which is still a ways away (and AdaCore
is also still supporting targets where DWARF is not available). So your
suggestion was indeed a good idea, and I followed it.

        * gdb.texinfo (Print Settings): Add documentation for "set/show
        print frame-arguments".

I'm also attaching the NEWS entry, which I did forget (good catch!).

        * NEWS: Add entry for new set/show print frame-args command.

Thanks, Eli.
