Alright. Perhaps the 'exec-file' command? It seems to me that
'symbol-file' and 'exec-file' should combine into the 'file' command. The
problem is that 'exec-file /tmp/some_file' fails if there is no
/tmp/some_file. Maybe we could make the exec-file command unconditional?
That way the target_ops run command can deal with it.
cheers,
Kris
