Why, oh why do people go to such great lengths to explain this in a
mail message and/or in the comments to the code, but not as a patch to
gdbint.texinfo?  Why not invest a small additional effort (Texinfo
markup) to improve our documentation together with fixing a bug?

Sigh.

Thanks for the patch.  (I cannot approve it, though.)
