If I was ever granted a wish allowing me to change one (pair) of gdb 
commands, up/down would be it.

Er, actually, I've, hopefully, got a beter idea:

	extras-frame

It reflects how the original frame code would use INIT_EXTRA_FRAME_INFO 
during initialization.

Thing is, the phrase `frame chain' is just too useful when describing 
the [er] frame chain (all the frames strung together).
