IMO, the main confusion is that you're calling the new thing "agent", which
is a very generic term.  We had been using in-process (debugging)
agent (IPA) so far for the thing that is loaded in the inferior,
which is I think is a bit more to the point.  And I think users may well
get confused by reading the bits in the docs that already talk about
the in-process agent, and then this new section, which talks about
an agent, but without connecting the dots.
