GDB Speak: `inferior' rather than `target'?

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

In trying to correctly and clearly word some gdb comments (and yes ok, 
and internal doco), I'm left wondering if we should `newspeak' some 
terminology here and use the word `inferior' instead of `target'.

The problem with `target' is that it is totally overloaded.  The 
configuration target, the running target the target architecture, ....

Hence, when refering to an instance of the program being debugged, the 
word `inferior' should be used.  Of course, this would mean that `core' 
becomes an inferior (...).

Thoughts?
