Thanks I reviewed the series.  Most comments are inline.  I will do a summary here.

More documentation.  The API implementer really needs to know about
what they have to really implement over what is optional.  An addition
to the internals manual would be super. At the very least far more
comments in the structures.

Scripting language priority needs to be looked at in certain
situations.  I documented my thoughts in-line. But as I presume each
scripting language keeps its own meta-data, (IE printer lists), we
will have to refactor the "info
frame-filter/type-printer/pretty-printer" commands to work with all of
them.

Internal naming nits.

A few comments on some breakpoint struct changes.

Cheers,

Phil
