The implementation of -gdb-set currently does use CLI but it is still
presented as an MI command. So, although the implementation might change, I
see no reason for the command itself to disappear. Since the documentation
doesn't suggest it is temporary or should not be used for program variables, I
would use this command if it is more convenient.
