I don't think we are really supposed to do that, for the same reason
that we are asked to avoid contractions such as initialize_(foo|bar).
In this case, my suggestion would be to simply say:

        * avoid the use of send_gdb/gdb_expect wherever possible.

It's less complete, but it doesn't make gdb_test special compared to
the other routines. Others may have a different opinion...
