I felt that it was useful; I still do. Takeup of new MI features by
IDEs seems to be a very slow process, since many support the system's
installed GDB (which may be several revisions behind); reports of MI
features that don't work also seems to be a bit spotty. So, honestly,
I wouldn't read too much into it that no one noticed. It was new in
GDB 6.4.

I'd appreciate it if one of you could do that, yes. Shame on me, I
didn't write one at the time.
