(you mean ``_set_ remoteaddresssize''?) There are also the debug commands:
set remotedebug
set archdebug
....

to ``set remote addresssize''? Yes. I've beeing doing that for more
recent commands.
Before attacking all the commands though I identified the need for the
following prep work:
o implement a ``deprecated'' command type
so that ``set remoteaddresssize'' could be hooked into
the new ``set remote addresssize''.
That way when the deprecated command was used, the
user would be informed of the change.
o fix a number of set/show/help querks with three level
commands.
Play with the ``set/show remote P-packet'' et.al. commands
and you'll notice strange behavour.
o start a debate about where GDB's cli commands should
live :-)
enjoy,
Andrew
