Something what have the regular MI clients (like Nemiver from what Dodji said
and I expect most/all the others).
That is a stateful parser which automatically stores away async responses,
something like XML parsers are but for MI. Either callbacking GDB on found
elements or storing the elements and providing lookup API into them.
Keith said he wrote something like that in TCL but it never got accepted.
Unfortunately it needs to be in TCL to be compatible with the testsuite.
Thanks,
