[Interpeters] "set interpreter" useful?

Hi,
I've been testing the interpreter stuff with which I've been working on
and off for a little while, and I have to ask: does anyone think it will
be useful for someone to switch interpreters?
$ gdb -nw -nx -q
(gdb) set interpeter mi
(gdb)
OR
$ gdb -nx -i=mi -q
(gdb)
-interpreter-set console
(gdb)
This is obviously a real nightmare to get working properly. I won't even
mention what kind of havoc this could cause if someone using an MI-based
UI did something like:
-interpreter-exec console "set interpreter console"
Would anyone care if I ripped out the ability to change interpreters on
the fly? (I'm not going to touch interpreter-exec, just "set
intepreter"/"-interpreter-set".
