Oh wow, that's much more complete than what I have.  I also spotted some 
other areas of improvement, but I know that if I try to bite too much in 
one go I never finish and submit what I have.  That's why I sent just 
these two by themselves.

If you intend on finishing and submitting that patch I'll drop mine.  
Otherwise, I'll go ahead and maybe submit yours chunk by chunk, adding 
tests in the process.

As far as the gdb.Inferior.progspace part is concerned, our two versions 
are essentially identical.

Ok, I'll push an obvious patch for that.
