But it requires pre-parsing and quoting of the argument list, so you
can't just do something like:
gdb_foo () {
gdb [options] -run foo ${1+"$@"}
}
and get the same argument list, if they contain blanks or equivalent.
I'd much rather see something that accepts an argument list, instead
of a single string containing multiple arguments that has to be
re-parsed by gdb.
