It's a useful option, but I tend to treat "set debug ..." like maint commands.
They're for gdb developers and thus we feel freer to change things -
not that we'd necessarily remove the option, but there's still this
built in freedom to change things without worrying about how it might
affect someone.
Yet this option feels like something for users as well as gdb developers.

Do we need to use a different prefix here?
Just a thought.  No strong opinion.
