Another argument for separation of gdb.texinfo and gdbint.texinfo:
gdb.texinfo is in some sense a public interface which is meant to be
stable. But information in gdbint.texinfo is not a public interface
and can change at any moment.
For example, someone could re-implement the symbol table with tries
instead of hash tables (I would really like this!). That would affect
gdbint.texinfo, but it would not affect gdb.texinfo.
Maybe "public"/"private" are not the right words but there is a
definite difference here.
