Damn, I completely missed this!  No, there's no point in adding another such
function.  I'll try to use parse_args for what I initially wanted to do (adding
an -inferior-args option to gdb_run_cmd).  If parse_args doesn't do what I need,
I'll look into improving it.

Thanks for letting me know about that.
