I'm fine with it, but I have a couple of comments about the docs.

@pxref is inappropriate here, since it is designed to be used inside
parentheses.  You want "see @ref" instead.

And I would lose the "Again" part (in which case you can simply use
@xref).

I think this deserves a short intro, like one or two sentences saying
something about multi-inferior debugging.

Perhaps say something about replacement command(s), or why none is
needed.

Thanks.
