another way would be not to use
>> (gdb) set gs-verbose on
but rather
>> (gdb) set_gs-verbose on
where `set_gs-verbose' is a python command you defined. In this
function, you can set your (global/class variable) verbosity level
according to the `args', so that's is directly available from your
`to_string()'
