>Description:
Today I was debugging a program whose source directory
has a space in it.  I was unable to find a way to 
tell gdb to search this directory with the "dir"
command; in the end I worked around it by making a
space-less symlink and pointing gdb at that.

I think it would make sense if the dir command understood
quoting.  Then I could type something like:
  dir '/path/with/a space in it/'
