Radical for gdb maybe, not for me. Not hairbrained, either. This is
definitely something that Jim Ingham, Martin Hunt, Fernando Nasser, and
I have talked about many, many times before (long, long ago now, it
seems).
FWIW, I've always liked this idea. It would be so much easier for people
to create custom views of their data/memory/etc. One really neat thing
that you could do is write some really elaborate breakpoint conditions.
Image using strcmp [hmph, "string compare" :-)] in a breakpoint
condition. Lo! How I wish I could have done that trying to chase down
symtab problems in gdb!
