If you use "gdb --dbx" then the "func" command will select a frame given
the name of the function.
I wouldn't be averse to giving this command a different name and making
it always available. We'll probably do something like this, maybe more
DWIMy though, as part of the frame filter project, like a generalized
"upto" for those who remember from the archer list.
