[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".

Keith
