I'm not sure what you're agreeing with here.

Sorry, you're right, I wasn't being clear.


I think it makes plenty
of sense to update error handling to just show the ^error, not &"..."
also - though that is an incompatible change and would need some
wider testing.

Agreed. Honestly I don't know if there are any deployed GUIs that use MI except for Xcode -- I hear Eclipse does -- but I can imagine a (poor) implementation dropping the ^error message text on the floor and assuming that the user will see the error message in the gdb I/ O window.



I strongly disagree with outputing unformatted errors
as in Nick's first example, though.

Yes, I agree that outputting unformatted errors is a bad idea.
