I do not find it easily user-accessible, for checking how the pretty printers
work and possibly extending them etc. I would fine native to load in this
order (matching current GDB find_separate_debug_file behavior):
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/03/f06dc...293c0-gdb.py
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6-gdb.py
/usr/lib64/.debug/libstdc++.so.6-gdb.py
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6-gdb.py
