To my mind, as long as you have "ui_out_text" sprinkled amongst the
result accumulating statements in "core" gdb, you have CLI code
embedded in the core gdb functionality. After all, the "text" output
was just a clever way to continue formatting stuff up for the CLI
without polluting the MI output. But having it there means command
output can't be changed without potentially messing up the CLI output -
the two are still intimately linked.
disasm.c has a bunch of ui_out_text calls.

Yes, this is a desirable goal. Have you thought about how to do this?
The best way I can think of is to have a new ui_out that builds up an
intermediate representation for results that is easy to access
randomly - making up real lists & dictionaries from the
ui_out_field_xxx and list & table stuff. Then we could banish
ui_out_text & friends to the CLI commands to take the whole result,
pull bits out in the order they expected, and annotate them with
text, newlines, etc, in order to make a nice display.
In practice, this will be gnarly to get right, but you could do it
incrementally by getting the intermediate rep. ui_out working, then
fix the CLI commands one by one by swapping in the new ui_out for
those commands you had fixed, and using the old CLI one for the
commands you hadn't gotten working...
I don't know that anything that complicated is needed. disasm.c
worked out pretty well.
