Also, I forgot to note here that I didn't understand the documentation
for the "A" packet; but when I looked at the code I couldn't find it in
either gdb or gdbserver. So, I wonder if it ought to be deleted.
Another oddity I noticed is that it's unclear what a client ought to do
if a stub sends a notification that it doesn't understand. The ACK for
a notification depends on the contents (which implies that they've been
understood), and there doesn't seem to be a general notification NAK. I
think this might be a useful addition.
