Re: RFA/RFC: dump symtab and psymtab lists

Okay, here's a revised patch that calls them "maint list {,p}symtab".
Unfortunatly, there is `(gdb) list' command, so one would expect a
certain level of correspondance between `(gdb) list' and `(gdb maint
list'.  This is like `(gdb) info breakpoints' vs `(gdb) maint info
breakpoints'.


This also rules out my `maint search' suggestion :-(


`maint query <db> <query>'?


Jim, did you see this point?


For what it's worth, the existing 'maint print' commands already break
this correspondence: 'print' doesn't send output to a file, but 'maint
print' does.  There might be some way of naming GDB's commands to
preserve this correspondence, to make the arguments consistent, and to
be easy to remember, but I think it will take a fair amount of
cleaning up.

I know, that doesn't excuse new commands though.
