The name of the section sounds too long to me.  How about this
instead:

  * Leading Arguments::            Leading arguments to commands

> +@node Command leading args
> +@section Automatically prepend arguments to commands and aliases

Likewise here.  Also, the section name should have its words
capitalized.

> +If you repetitively use the same arguments or options for a command,
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^
"repeatedly"

> +you can tell @value{GDBN} to automatically prepend these arguments
> +or options to the arguments you type explicitely.
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^
"explicitly"

> +@code{set enable-leading-args off}.  The leading args of all commands are not cleared, but
> +will not be used till you do @code{set enable-leading-args on}.
                             ^^
"type", not "do".  Also, please use @kbd instead of @code for commands
the user is supposed to type.

> +arguments typed explicitely on the command line.
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^
"explicitly"

Finally, please refill the text so that each line is shorter than 79
columns, otherwise it's hard to read the Texinfo source.

Thanks.
